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.
