the question I am asking is, if we know this is not ideal and reality deviates from goal, then why are we still going in that direction?

Why are we subjecting ourselves to it when we clearly know that there is something fundamentally flawed?

it's just a question. I don't expect arguments or debates. I know. I know how reality is blah and theory is blah. I know, I know. i just can't help but ask.
