Comment on Meritocracy Is a Mythparent

Comments

First, this is basically admitting you are not good enough, and they are inherently better. Already a self-defeatist attitude that can become a self-fulflilling prophecy. And second, you even mention it:

self amplify themselves by giving them the resources needed to succeed

That's corrupt meritocracy. Also are you telling me you don't select restaurants, mechanics, food products, opinions of others, etc., etc., based on whether they're better than others or not? Are you saying you just go around never thinking of who does it better than others to then benefit from that? Think about how you reward peopel on a daily basis, and how that ends up contributing to meritocracy.
