"winning" conflicts loses all meaning and value when you realise that most conflicts are the result of a psychological flaw that makes us subconsciously mimic an amplified reaction to any inbound attack, and this is so deeply ingrained in us that we often just do it on autopilot. if someone's dunking on you, they're probably reacting to some more minor thing they perceived from you. often this stuff blows out of control on individual and societal levels. once you notice it, you can't ever unsee it. most based thing to do is just consciously recognise and under-react, which solves most of these problems before they ever even start
