It sounds lewd.
Sounds like a delicious cocktail.
I'm Angela Duckworth.
I'm Steven Dubner, and you're listening to.
No stupid questions today on the show.
What's wrong with cheating on tests?
The victims are the law abiding suckers.
Angela, we have a question from a listener.
His name is Aidan.
Aidan writes to say, I'm a 20 year old sophomore in college and I have been cheating since middle school.
Through the years, Aiden writes, I have created close to 100 new ways of cheating, mostly using the tech realm.
I know I am more than capable of not cheating, but it is extremely difficult to motivate doing it.
I guess what that means is Aidan has a hard time being motivated to not cheat.
Right?
Right.
To actually, like, do the work, I guess.
I guess so.
Or maybe it's just super.
Anyway, Aiden goes on to say, even in my favorite classes, I can't help myself but cheat on virtually every assignment.
Ironically, I have spent far longer learning how to cheat than the time it takes to actually do the assignment.
