If we see that the world is bad, we should at least try to change it.

As opposed to the tried and failed alternative.

If the world chose to ignore all the imperfections. We would never be able to fix them and evolve.

When richness within the mainstream cultural context is but an illusion, to keep yourself away from contentment due to your evolutionary built-in decision-making bias. In a world where nothing is of real value, due to arrogance that leads to recklessness.

"you won't get a job/be rich if you're not smart enough to crack this pain-in-the-neck test and that", i hear that all the time and i don't like it.

Then feel free to show them this, so they can challenge their own unrealistic perception of what learning can be.
