I have somehow ended up at a Uni with this kind of "future politician" people.

Trust me, their entire world is skewed even before they get any power.

1) They somehow do not understand failure as a concept.
2) They do take every rule at it's face value
3) Since they are from a rich background, most of them never saw desperation.

But: these rules have a funny effect. Since they do not understand failure or desperation, they do not mind doing long and pointless homework.

Since they do take rules at face value, they feel no cognitive dissonance while learning some BS for the test. (Obviously, they do not understand the topic beyond first level of logical causality but that doesn't matter at UNI.)

And since they never faced desperation, and do take rules at face value, they will not see the causality between their actions and suffering of others.

I couldn't make this BULLSHIT up if I tried.
