It can become a crazy loop really quick. Because if everyone is participating and you find someone to better you, then they have also be looking for someone to better them. And if that is the case, they won't want you hanging around, because you aren't going to better them.
The entire population would spend their time, searching for someone to better them, or settling on someone who isn't going to better them. And before you know it we are all the same.
sure, but instead of trying to find a single person better than you, you could find a group or even just another person that you create a relationship in which you build off of each other
For me, this is completely true. When I see someone who is BETTER than I am, it sure sobers me up and tells me that I need to get my shit together. My friends are all better than I am, and I believe I have become better just by being around them
For me, I eat pizza and look at memes all day so I surround myself with people to reflect that. Whether or not they raise or lower my standards is represented by how often I get stuffed crust.
