No game, No life
In my vision, ALL the conflicts would be executed by different competetitive games that would be kept as equal to everyone (=everyone would be aware of the held rules over the games). This would, I believe, solve many of those problems that are considered residing in our nature.
Would agree on living in such a world? What are your thoughts about such a scenario?

These statements go with what happens in the society. How it would deal with problems such as Global Warming or so, stays irrelevant and out of context.

It seems that, inadvertently, golf is the ideal sport for networking and deal-making. It involves slowly walking around a large non-stimulating, open-air space occasionally performing a mindless activity. The open space and the continuous movement ensures that conversations can be confidential and the long, slow, un-taxing walk means that the participants can talk easily without getting out of breath or distracted by any mentally challenging tasks. The element of competition can be used as a metaphor, if required. The exclusive nature of the golf club ensures that only the right sort get in. The necessity to buy numerous pieces of equipment facilitates "technical comparison discussion displacement conversation", or TCDDC - a condition found predominantly in males. And the outlandish clothing succeeds in putting off the casual player and selecting for dedication.
That's my thought for the day.
