Exactly. It's not all about you. It's best for the community to encourage education, and dragging down students who actually care about education does the opposite.

Your selfishness is not equal to my desire for common prosperity. If anything, lone wolf-ism is what drags us down (no matter how proficient the wolf thinks he is). We live in a society.

  • > lone wolf-ism is what drags us down

    with respect to what metric? economic growth? that's probably not true, lone wolfism is what drives people to develop expertise in the first place

    if the metric is community or "sustainability" or something else, is pursuing that metric in the place of economic growth sustainable long term?
