Possibly most of one's life is spent (over?) fitting to some "test" in a system, or "expectation" someone else has, instead of doing what they truly want: trying to pass a test at school, trying to land that job (you think) you want, trying to be socially acceptable in the schoolyard, at a party, or in the office, trying to please a parent, a friend, a partner, trying to conform to some unconsciously shared vision of "success", trying to conform to your own vision of "success", etc.
The list is long.
Fairer, unhackable systems would definitely help in reducing the amount of such "tests" we artificially created as a society. We should strive for this.
However is it possible to solve human nature? To solve "affinity bias", "confirmation bias", "psychological needs", etc.? Is it possible to create a society in which everyone is truly free? Or at least as free as possible from all this? Is it possible to solve freedom & wisdom? :-)
