Perhaps the reason why "learn the game" is "old and lame" is because it applies to almost every whinge about it, and is therefore used frequently. This might come as a shock to you, but people who "learn the game" well often do well at it themselves.
You have to adapt to survive - you can't stop a storm bearing down on New York City, you prepare for its arrival.

That's not it at all - "learning the game" isn't about limiting what you can do, it's about learning it well enough to find creative ways to do things you thought you couldn't. This negativity doesn't help you learn, it just gives you an excuse to whinge. Instead of whining about the "4 billion things you can't do", which includes things like putting a "don't shoot me" sign on the side of your spaceship (making it obvious why there are things you can't do), why don't you think up something you can do?
Stop flying on autopilot. Start putting up off-grid bookmarks on stargates and stations. Start LEARNING THE GAME. I've hauled billions into and out of Jita 4-4 and never been ganked once. Albeit, I had a crack team of haulers teach me how, but that's why you join a corp, to learn from people who have done it all before.
