Sweden knew Canada’s Marc Kennedy was a notorious cheater.

So they set up a camera at the ‘hog line’ to record it.

And caught him doing it at the Olympics.

        Why do people?

        Oh wow, that is a lot of fruit. I can’t eat all that. I should let my family know there’s fruit here. Hey, everybody, FRUIT!

        Community happens. It’s natural, inevitable.

          Why do people win?

          Hey, I need fruit. I’m going to eat that fruit.

          Interaction happens. Choose your own adventure:

          FIGHT

          NO. I’M GOING TO EAT THIS FRUIT.

          Winner gets fruit. Survival of the fittest. Competition.

          Flight

          Yikes! I’ll go get other fruit. Hopefully.

          Hell yeah, fruit. I should get fruit that others found more often. That was easy.

          Hopefully there’s more fruit.

          Freeze

          Oh, holy shit holy shit holy shit please just take the fruit I don’t want to fight holy shit please don’t notice me.

          I really need that fruit and I really need to not get hurt what the fuck what the fuck what do I do?

          *Hell yeah, fruit. I should get fruit that others found more often. That was easy.

          Why are you still here? This is my fruit. Don’t come near my fruit.

          Probably gonna get hit at this point.

          Fawn

          YOU GOT IT! FRUIT’S ALL YOURS! Want me to get you more fruit? I can get you as much fruit as you want.

          Please don’t hit me.

          Sometimes you get hit. Sometimes you don’t. You’ll never know which is which, but at least you can keep gathering fruit.

          Even if you don’t get to keep all of it.

          Even if you don’t get to keep any of it.

          Friend

          There are a lot of thought possibilities here, and even more responses. I’m not gonna write a whole dialog tree (yet).

          • Oh, shit, this guy needs fruit. I wouldn’t like needing fruit. Hey, yeah, you can have this fruit. I can probably find more.

          • Oh shit, this guy needs fruit. Needing fruit sucked. I have a bunch of fruit. I can’t eat it all. Have some fruit.

          • Oh, shit, this guy needs fruit. No one should have to go without fruit. Hey, yeah, you can have some of this fruit; it’s not a ton but we can find more fruit together.*

          You cooperate. A society is formed.

          Fɪɢʜᴛ

          Nᴏ. I NEED Tʜɪꜱ Fʀᴜɪᴛ. Mʏ Fᴀᴍɪʟʏ NEEDS Tʜɪꜱ Fʀᴜɪᴛ. I ᴡɪʟʟ ɴᴏᴛ ʟᴇᴛ Yᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ Tʜɪꜱ Fʀᴜɪᴛ.

          Could go either way. But, trying is the most important part. There’s not enough fruit for everyone. You owe it to yourself, to your family, to your community. You must compete.

          Fuck

            Why do people cheat?

            Taking someone else's fruit was a lot easier than finding fruit

            I’m just going to do that from now on. Take fruit. I’ll do anything I can to get better at taking fruit.

            If I can find more fruit, I'll have more fruit

            I should do anything I can to get better at finding fruit.

            If I have more fruit, then everyone has more fruit

            I should do anything I can to make there be more fruit.

            Lots of reasons. Lots of types of cheating. Steroids, rule bending, rule breaking. Lots of drives.

              Why sports?

              Ok so like there are characters, internal voices, trains of thought, concepts flying around. Trying to organize.

              So, we have these dudes. There’s “Big” dude, who is all ALL THIS STUFF IS MINE, DO WHAT I SAY and then we have ʙɪɢ dude who is like “no”. And “Big” guy swings. And gets his ass handed to him in response.

              ʙɪɢ wins the fight. But didn’t like it. And doesn’t want to fight. And doesn’t even understand the need to fight at all because like he totally shares all his food and would rather just share. But he’s gonna have to fight again.

              So ʙɪɢ being a nerd is like, “hey, next guy who has to fight me, I won’t, like, actively try to kill you as long as you don’t actively try to kill me”.

              Yay. Sports.

                Why do people sports?

                If there’s been an established need to be a winner of a fight, and you’d rather neither of you die, you need rules. An agreement. And penalties for not keeping the agreement. “Sorry, but just this one time I will be forced to go all out.” But, like, real. You beat the shit out of the other person. Still not enough to kill them. Probably. The first time.

                Why do people win sports?

                Even fighting with that caveat is still fucking awful. So, innovate. Find ways to not fight but still determine winner.

                Could be better technique. Could be more strength. Could be more accuracy. Could be more speed. Could be better rules. Could be better enforcement of the rules/agreement.
