* The Tournament is not the core of research. I've been describing the research community as a competitive, perhaps even unfriendly, place. And it is competitive. But I've not found it to be unfriendly. I've met so many colleagues who have helped me by collaborating with me, explaining their work, graciously helping me to understand the field better. This creates the cognitive dissonance, how can the community be both competitive and helpful at the same time? I reconcile these views by *viewing competition as a type of collaboration*. We have, together, decided to build a competition for attention, in the hope that it will help all of us to reach our full potential and teach each other as much as we can. So it is not the competition that is central to research, but learning.

You need to train yourself to think instead: hey, what a great person to learn from!
