cold take but it's disturbing that schools are supposed to prepare you for the real world, and schools are also places where you participate in freestyle educational hunger games battles to see which one of you is the "smartest" (smartness is a construct by the way, why do we value it? it's such an expoitable metric. or maybe every metric is exploitable simply because of the fact unkind/ selfish people exist. i really don't know. but being a game theory novice, i formly believe we will one day be able to create a system of civilization wherein continuous cooperation is actually valued, and where redressal is fast, appropriate, and transformative.) is this a cold take?
