The idea the researchers and this news site are promoting is that competitive skills/drives are not part of “ability” despite the clear fact that they are.
If you are left wing you want to see competition and competitive abilities as a negative. So say you have two subject in a completion where independent non competitive measures indicate they are equals. They want to say it is “unfair” “random “luck” — or better yet a pejorative like “dominance” that has the one with the more competitive skills and nature prevail.
Essentially the worldview is that competitiveness is at best irrelevant and often wrong and the world would be better off with “participation awards”
In other words, instead of accepting reality and being glad some people are especially talented and competent they deny it. They may get some kind of perverse satisfaction doing that but they are still either not as capable or not as motivated as the successful.
How do they explain the socialist and communist leaders who are clearly more accomplished and capable than others?
I hope your interpretation of them reaches more people…
