I must confess to finding this answer pretty insulting (but i guess in truth, you are calling everyone monkeys, and just distinguishing between those that climb to the top and those that don't)

I guess the counter-thought would be that of exploration & discovery, where we need trailblazers to set the path that others will follow later..

Oh come on... anyone who finds a simple human/monkey analogy insulting is way too sensitive.

Hi. I mean no offense. I should have explained my thoughts better. I am not calling everyone a monkey, I am saying the behavior is a primate behavior that we share.

Discovery/learning is a completely different desire than the need to compete.

it doesn't seem insulting for me, perhaps my username led him to call us monkeys (what humans are, kind of ;).
