“The truth is, you see, however much they would beg to disagree, humans don't actually like to win. Or rather, they like winning for about ten seconds, but if they keep on winning, they end up actually having to think about other things, like life or death. The only thing humans like less than winning is losing, but at least something can be done about that. With absolute winning, there is nothing to be done. They just have to deal with it.”
