TLDR
The text argues that while genetics and upbringing shape learning, societal structures—especially in South Korea—reduce children to tools for corporate success, stripping away individuality, creativity, and joy. Beneath the country’s image of productivity and wealth lies a culture of depression, lost childhoods, and a soulless pursuit of status and efficiency.
