Oh a possible synchronicity... I was just talking with someone about positive sum and zero sum games/interactions. The point I was making was really that economics is a spiritual science, and at its core has very little to do with math. "Economia" in Greek was a philosophical term that became a Christian term for a time, now pretty much forgotten, that basically meant the economy of spirit, or the movement of spirit. You can see the movement of spirit when you say something nice and it brightens someone's day and then they say more nice things and there's a growing wave that magnifies your choice, positive or negative. That's positive sum. I think most things are actually positive sum, and its the scarcity mindset that convinces people that they're fighting in a zero sum game.

That said, beware : if a suit talks positive sum game, he's most likely a predator. I learned the term from such suits when I was studying econ. The same people who tell you business is positive sum also will fight to protect the system of usury and monetary supply expansion. They might not know it, but they are actually camouflaging their zero-sum mentality as nice positive sum rhetoric. They are right that business is positive sum ; but they are weaponizing a small right to convince people to support greater wrongs. And there's another aspect of economia - beautiful intentions lead to terrible outcomes.
