In case you are serious I will answer you seriously. And then I am done with the subject especially because the advice is actually the opposite of most other advice in the book.
If the rake is high, the stacks are too big to get all in fairly early, the players near the button play tricky, aggressively. and close to GTO, and you are in the game mainly to take advantage of the really bad players not the good ones mentioned, you are making a very small error if you immediately fold AQ in first or second position. If you play the river well, the upside for this play and a few similar ones, is a reduction in volatility. If you don't play the river as you should against good players, either because you are inexperienced or because you would prefer not to deal with the required occasional big bet calls with one pair, then we are almost sure that zero EV of immediately folding (given the rake, the stack size, and the good playing opponents near the button) is actually better than what we think it would be playing those cards with one hand tied behind your back.
But most of the time you would play the damn hand.
