In a system that is already captured, and oppressive, you have very low odds (zero if POC/woman) of ascending to the top of the oppression food chain by playing within the system
you have better odds by playing outside the system. Parts of traditional education are important for that. Parts are totally useless. Parts are only trivially important in the sense that they help you make social connections with other people brainwashed by the same trivia.
Even that's a long shot though, and at the end of the day if you enjoy something then it's worthwhile, and a lot of people enjoy not crunching numbers.
The thing is that the kid who uses chatgpt to do homework is woefully ill-equipped to know which is which. There's no shortcuts to reading theory, so to speak.
I'm pretty sure reading and internalizing communist theory is not part of any westoid school curriculum
Maybe not in most places. The important thing is that it requires the same skills and engages with the same sources.
The point being there are no shortcuts to any kind of knowledge.
