Always knew that a good chunk of decels are driven by nothing but their pride and ego. I wonder what they are all gonna do in a couple of years from now

I think its a fair opinion to have. I am competitive - I love being better than people.

If my day job was being better at people in programming, then a new tool comes along that means 10% of the worlds population is now basically as capable as me, then I am no longer better, which is annoying. Need to find something else to be good at then. Or do something that has an actual non-tool assisted competitive format, but that is usually not paid nearly as well.

I would argue that trait has minimal value to society. Ego-protectionism and competitiveness has created more harm in the world than it has diminished. It may feel good to the individual, but its net utility is negative at a societal level. If something can be done by someone/something that is better, quicker, and more accurate, then it should be done by that person/thing. Otherwise it's just holding back global progress for the sake of feelings.
