Spaced repetition systems have gotten better

Repeatedly memorizing the same thing over and again does not make one smart.

Ofocurse it does help you win stupid games.

Like scoring good marks in exams.

So that you can spend the next 30 years of your life doing jobs you hate for money to just end up dead for infinity.

You're free to choose not to memorise things, but please don't be an arsehole about people who do want to do so for whatever reason. Having said that, you seem to misunderstand the point of spaced repetition, which is that you don't memorise the same thing over and over again; instead, you memorise it enough times to learn it, and not many more.

When was I being an asshole. Your ego took whatever I said personally.

Reality check incoming. Yes you are an asshole. Your word choice matters, and you picked a large number of insulting terms.

"not ... smart", "[only use is to] win stupid games.", "[you will spend] your life doing jobs you hate for money".

My dude, I'm learning Japanese vocabulary, which has helped me to start reading light novels for fun. By your argument: I'm not smart, wasting my time, and hate my life, or soon will?

Thing is I would fully agree with you that memorizing != comprehension, but that doesn't mean than memorizing is without it's use. Do yourself a favor and learn to not be so rude. It is literally the first item in the site guidelines:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky.
