hardworking = easily exploitable

note: I meant that when modern society says work hard", they really mean "let yourself be easily exploited"

especially in school, universities, work, etc

Well, depends on what you put effort into and how you're born and all ig. In some cases people need to let themselves be exploited to survive in the first place. There's also the luck factor and you can also work hard and be independent but... I give up these are too many factors to consider I am not doing this.

Honestly, yes.

The culture always tell you to work harder and demand less. This is simply to make it easier to exploit you. Just work harder, and everything will be amazing and we won't just tighten it even more, we promise

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged, but keep it in good faith and never punch down.
