Pinker teaches at a university where 30% of students are legacy admissions and where Jared Kushner got admitted because his family made a huge donations. Of course Pinker thinks he lives in a meritocracy. https://twitter.com/sapinker/status/1075415858112024576 …

Douthat is attacking French technocrats who are *ostensibly* meritocratic, and writers who don them as such, as being bad. My read is that Pinker is saying in response that you can’t just “choose” to be (or name yourself) meritocratic, not that they *are* such.
