When education systems emphasize integrity, they don’t merely teach honesty; they develop cognitive resilience — the ability to withstand pressure, avoid shortcuts, and pursue long-term thinking over impulsive rewards. These lessons map closely onto the traits needed for balanced gambling behavior. A gambler with a strong ...
