Interview with Alfie Kohn | From Peter Joseph's Revolution Now! Podcast Ep. 54

Peter Joseph interviews renowned author and educator Alfie Kohn about the pervasive role of competition in society. Kohn challenges the widely accepted belief that competition is an inherent and beneficial part of human nature, instead arguing that it is a learned behavior reinforced by cultural narratives, education, and economic structures. He breaks down common myths surrounding competition—such as the idea that it fosters productivity, builds character, or drives innovation—by drawing on extensive research that demonstrates its detrimental effects on psychological well-being, social relationships, and even performance. Kohn also explores the fundamental distinction between competition and excellence, emphasizing that true achievement does not require defeating others but rather working cooperatively to enhance mutual success. The discussion further examines the structural forces that entrench competition, from early childhood education to the workplace and beyond, showing how deeply ingrained societal systems create artificial scarcity and pit individuals against one another. Kohn and Joseph also touch on broader implications, including how competition fuels economic inequality, distorts motivation, and even influences how we interact with the natural world. They highlight alternative models based on collaboration and intrinsic motivation, urging a reconsideration of deeply held assumptions about success and progress. By questioning the root of competition rather than merely its excesses, they present a vision for a more cooperative and sustainable future.
