Obviously, I'm very happy that prog. is fairly meritocratic, because that's the only way an odd person like me can thrive. :)
Scott A summarizes the rationale behind meritocracy. There's a few other areas than prog. that's meritocratic. http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/07/24/targeting-meritocracy/ …pic.twitter.com/yeqPRMbt36

Scott doesn't consider that companies already put a lot of thought into how to desire who to hire. His suggestions won't work equally well.

Tons of modern companies use very questionable personality tests/assessments for hiring. Fashionable but not very effective.

Or maybe they're effective for the price. One should always be skeptical in thinking all companies are leaving free value on the table.

They r not effective for the price bc they don't work & cost a fortune. Your prior in the rationality of market+companies is far too strong.

You probably do know better than the vast amounts of smart social psychologists out there, do you not? ;)

This has been my view for years. There's not just one anti-meritocracy book--there are many. It's hard to find any pro-meritocracy writing.

De Boer doesn't have an argument. He merely asserts the insane communist dogma that nobody deserves anything, and all must have equal goods.

Indeed, they're not, these days. However, they used to be, by-and-large, until about the 1980s, when university attendance expanded greatly.
