"you can be only as influential as the system lets you"
A small step toward a AI ruled world. So far so good!
Generally agree however I'd substitute 'realistic' for your "pessimistic." All authorities try to influence through education and especially the next generation.
Ideally, we would be taught self-knowledge/emotion mgt.(e.g. mindfulness) and critical thinking along with foundational humanities(+self-directed), basic STEM(+self-directed), life skills(e.g. home/car maintenance, budgeting, cooking, etc.) and for the love of god some generic sex-ed since we make half our adult decisions on some level of such attraction/aversion(conscious & especially unconscious).
[The following is one of many quotes I could have chosen]
"But if you look, the content of so-called modern education - very much orientated about material value. Not talking about inner value. So now, today, the best educated people, emotionally - lot of problem!" he says, and once again bursts into delighted laughter."
--The ancient wisdom the Dalai Lama hopes will enrich the world, BBC News, 13 March 2018
The goal of education should, IMO, be socially responsible adults in a society that not only permits but encourages individual creative expression.
