The essence of competitiveness is liberated when we make people believe that what they think and do is important - and then get out of their way while they do it.

People try to do better than other people. It's an incentive.

I think it is absolutely essential in a democracy to have competition in the media, a lot of competition, and we seem to be moving away from that.

Competing is intense among humans, and within a group, selfish individuals always win. But in contests between groups, groups of altruists always beat groups of selfish individuals.

Yet, while producing increasingly selfish people, the mantra of the Left, and therefore of the universities and the media, has been for generations that capitalism and the free market, not the welfare state, produces selfish people.

The world is so competitive, aggressive, consumive, selfish and during the time we spend here we must be all but that.

It is the emergence of mass media which makes possible the use of propaganda techniques on a societal scale.

Media play a powerful role in establishing and perpetuating social norms.

We've been raised to compete, to want more! More! More! It's a way of life. It's about greed.

When people feel they're getting to speak into what's being preached, there is high built-in motivation to participate.
