      I can't believe people unironically hate meritocracy now

      The word "meritocracy" was coined in a book of social satire making fun of the concept

      The name "meritocracy" is supposed to be a joke, it doesn't mean anything but patting yourself on the back, it's like saying "My philosophy is I only make decisions that are correct" No system designed by humans can actually be a "meritocracy"

      I'm open to the idea that we have not yet properly calibrated our meritocracy -- that it is poorly defining merit, for instance -- but the notion that merit does not exist and/or that everything is subjective just seems like solipsism.

      On the contrary, the belief that there is a single definable thing as "merit" ("Being both generally good at things and also morally good and therefore deserving good things") is a very sloppy and lazy way of thinking about the world

      Replying to @arthur_affect @cceichhorn1 and

      Let's even set aside the unproven idea that there's such a thing as being "generally good at everything" (the general factor of intelligence or whatever) How does this solve the problem that elites are selfish and will fuck other people over for their own benefit

      It doesn't! But that's a separate argument: I am not here suggesting meritocracy is perfect and no criticisms are justified. I am only suggesting the concept of merit is not a meaningless phrase or that is totally subjective.

      The term "merit" connotes moral desert as well as the supposedly morally neutral concept of competence and because of that is a bad, tendentious word to be throwing around

          Okay, so you are indeed suggesting the entire concept of "merit" is bad. I strongly disagree with that assertion!

          Replying to @cceichhorn1

          Merit is a mushy, maliable social construct. It is either not a thing or it is still not a thing and the idea that it is a thing is used as justification for why those on top are on top. Strongly indeed.
