tl;dr - "Winning" and "prospering" are two different things
Comment on "Cheaters never prosper" is a lie that a cheater probably came up with

The intent of the proverb isn’t that bad people don’t get good things, it’s that a person who is cheating doesn’t get value out of the activity.
If you go through life cutting corners, you don’t actually get to learn and build a strong foundation.
You can still be rewarded with jobs, money, and sycophants, but that’s not what really matters.

I respectfully disagree.

Life isn’t a meritocracy

This heavily relies on the premise that there is always something deeper than winning that’s valuable.
It’s all about knowing when and where to cheat. Cheat as often as you can on meaningless stuff.
