There are a lot of issues in teaching game. The sort of people attracted to this material, run the gamut from great to goofy. Even the goofy guys figure it out.
A bigger issue is that society basically programs people to consume, to vote, to work, but not to produce, run for office, or to get workers. Schools, Media, Family, Culture, teaches us to be passive, to be robots.
And this is a perfect example of that. Want to save democracy? Try teaching kids to read charts. The reporter (and possibly the editor and the organization as a whole) probably doesn’t have the vision to understand the social value of teaching people to consume versus teaching people to produce.
If you ever wonder why universities in lesser developed countries are always seeming to spark revolutions – it’s because The State isn’t strong enough to have seduced them from an early age into non-action. In the West, we basically channel capable people into the system. *Looks around cubicle as I pen this on my smartphone, because I can’t use the work pc for personal business* In other places, they are painfully aware that the jig is up.
I’ve said before, the guys that have the hardest time learning game, are the good students. Aside from people that have to be spoon fed answers and reasons, there are tons more that can’t even really fathom their own social programming – and don’t realize when the programming kicks in, and when they

People make the decisions they make because they don’t have enough information. That’s type of thinking is part of the Tyranny of the Learned. It’s why Wall Street Quants that work for Hedge Funds, don’t run Hedge Funds. Why Silicon Valley Developers struggle on 6 figure salaries, while their managers have money to do some angel investing of their own.
As to this chart, and how society indoctrinates you to become passive – children should be taught how to make a chart that deceives people.
When you look at the curriculum of the best and most prestigious schools – they often teach a lot of ancient history. John Taylor Gatto (RIP) says that elite education is about 1 thing.
The management of crowds.
While most red pill mouth breather sites are all Marcus Aurelius, and learning to deal with suffering with a stiff upper lip – or some Zen bullshit where you learn to NOT DESIRE so you can never hurt from deprivation – Game is usually more external. They want you to think that’s it’s about control of yourself. By controlling yourself….you can get the girl. Self Control and Self Denial are just one half of the puzzle. Not blurting out the same bullshit that you normally blurt out, controlling your breathing, channeling your flight response into action. But Game is largely about social control.
