I loved this article. It made me think of that trope of the working-class boy/girl 'made good', escaping the estate/projects, being 'elevated' by meritocracy to the middle-class - used as a way to justify not tackling inequality and social problems

Well written and summed up. Thank you. A reminder to some commentators that inheritance at/of birth includes more than just money: family dynamics, genetics, birth defects, society...and more; all a matter of chance/ luck.

Fortune favors the prepared. And yes there are no guarantees that effort directly correlates to outcomes. Luck is a huge part. But ditching meritocracy altogether for what? So that the lazy can doom themselves (and the rest of us) to the cheater's life? I guess I'm not following.

Where opportunity meets preparedness. Right place at right time. It is not what you know, but who you know. In my decades of deal making, I found that new windfall success seemed to validate new found intelligence. In reality, ignorance carried forward. Failure is not a mistake.

If we take the lottery of birth as luck, then everything is luck of course, but given one’s inheritance at birth, the point of meritocracy is it allocates resources more efficiently than than other systems because of the correlation between merit and success
