Hypothetically Speaking

"I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed." [Daniel Plainview, There Will Be Blood]

Suppose we live a society where only the elites can survive. And suppose that everyone can only do one of the three things:

1. Obtain self-excellence (In video games terms, "buff" yourself)
2. Remain the same ("AFK BRB")
3. Debilitate another person ("debuff")

Which one would you do? What if you were under a time constraint to become the best. In the first option, you can become one of the elites through your hard work. But keep in mind, this will require many times as much effort and time. The second option will be the most boring, but at least you won't fail...nor succeed. The third option would be the easiest and the fastest. Although you don't improve, you can surely be the best if you "debuff" the people enough times- muhahaha.
