- bjornsing 1y agoYeah that was kind of my feeling too while skimming through this: ”Good luck with that…” It’s not a knowledge problem. It’s a vales and incentives problem.
- WhitneyLand 1y agoIt is an old saying, and I’m not sure there’s much use to it as it feels like a mitigation. No doubt the system needs to change, but lots of careers benefit from cheating or unethical behavior. It doesn’t rationalize it or force a choice on anyone.
