> It's been incredibly blackpilling seeing how many intelligent professionals and academics don't understand this

I figured this out in high school. It can’t be all that uncommon of a thought that if you are already in school and paying and given time to learn, you might as well do so?






I think that figuring this out is a great achievement. Probably one of the goals of school. It depends on many factors and the sooner, the better.

Young kids don't get it, they just do what they're asked. That's okay. University students graduating without having figured it out is a problem. And somewhere in the middle is when the average student gets there, hopefully?
