It’s like your teacher telling you that you can get straight A’s by cheating because in the end the grade is all that matters.

That’s a poor way to describe it.

If anything it’s more like people saying they’ll come to class if the teacher starts teaching things that are relevant, as opposed to what the school and teacher plan to ahead of time

And life works how we make it work. The systems broke (we all agree there) but it’s up to individuals to do there part to make it better
