Substitutability and Non-Contention
"The one who does not compete, therefore, the world cannot compete with him." — *Tao Te Ching*
Wherever there is competition, there must be more than two parties involved, and in most cases, there are even more. Competition indicates that any party is replaceable and not "indispensable." Falling into such competition is not far from internal strife and self-destruction.
Instead of competing with others, it is better to seek a less crowded path (https://t.me/telebookstall/2043) and find a path that cannot be replaced; this is what "not competing" means, and it may truly be "not competing."
Replaceability: However, the reason why humans are humans, even though they are merely a lowly individual in a group, is that there is a possibility of identity exchange among individuals. In human society, there are countless pigs and sheep; although people eat meat, most have never even heard the last gasp of a pig before it dies, yet a pig can never become a human. As long as individuals from different social classes can be replaced, then this civilization can be reshuffled and rebuilt. But if a person from one class becomes a pig, or a person from another class becomes a dragon, then this civilization will absolutely die, and a new civilization will be born. As for those originally called humans, they have become pigs. And this civilization will no longer be called humanity but rather the civilization of dragons. Just as there may be more kangaroos than humans in Australia, the kangaroo is merely an object of humans.
Since individuals can be replaced, it does not mean that common people cannot govern the country. However, the differences in intelligence, education, and social status among individuals may become obstacles to their class mobility, but generally speaking, including the possibilities for their children, is limitless. All individuals still exist within the physical and physiological realm of being human. In this sense, Rawls' veil of ignorance can shroud and reveal a mechanism for achieving justice.
