This Math Problem Divides the Internet

What does it take to succeed in this world?
Following someone's belief, fitting the mold
Existentialist infighting

Disown everything you know
Reaping what your fathers sow
Question not this, keep your head down
Ignorant bliss, idea crackdown
Thoughts to which you can't relate
Must become an empty slate

Empty your mind, blank canvas
Slave to the grind, you're dead
Unthinking sheep fed by hand
In a deep sleep
You're dead
You're dead
You're dead

Disown everything you know
Reaping what your fathers sow
Thoughts to which you can't relate
Must become an empty slate
