A few thoughts...
If it's true that plants have an understanding to share resources (a rather cooperative endeavor), how can the human experience truly benefit from what is not inherently the way our planet works? I believe we're all here to learn different things and very few things are (for all people under all circumstances) "good" or "bad." Likewise, I don't believe competition is "bad," just fundamentally not helpful to nourish our souls. It does serve well as an alternative to nothing at all (think sports programs for inner city youth), but how much more valuable would it be to have programs to cooperatively develop and grow gardens in those same inner cities? That experience has been transformative of entire communities. Basketball produces very (very) few rich stars and peddles the cruel illusion of fame and fortune that keeps most of us fighting each other for scraps of a life lived alone and scared.
