      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

      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

      If you yourself are a stupid person you might still prefer having the agency to fight for your own self-interests, stupidly, than to have a really smart person use that genius intellect to fuck you over so he can get everything he wants

      Like how do people not get this People just kind of assert that competence/intellect/knowledge equates to altruism with no evidence Isn't that exactly what a really smart person intent on fucking you over would want you to think

      How exactly is "smart people should rule over stupid people because they're better at ruling" different from "really big and strong apes should bully weak and sickly apes because they're good at doing it" It amounts to the same thing

      There are many areas where meritocracy legitimately comes into play. Someone's got to drive— should it not be the best driver? Someone has to make decisions about public health— should it not be someone educated in public health? Etc.

      It's the -cracy that's the important part here (kratos, power) We're not just talking about doing a job, we're talking about having power - which entails being part of the process of determining what jobs even exist and who gets hired for them

      People generally understand this is implied by how "meritocracy" is used and don't use the term for, say, picking the biggest and strongest soldiers to die horribly on the front lines of a battlefield
