I support that 'meritocracy' post, but now I've got no structure to my belief that incompetent morons shouldn't be in positions of power.
@scott_bot Sexism & racism are not the diametric opposite of meritocracy. Some companies (Valve, Github) profitably embody real meritocracy.

@warrenm@scott_bot and some people <clears throat> at working on making sure more companies adopt a similar approach. -
@cartazio Hard to enforce. Got resources on how to encourage it? -
@warrenm but also, there needs to be a mission / culture of helping people grow into maximal awesomeness plus areally healthy work culture -
@cartazio Exactly, and scaling THAT across not just a single org but across an entire country is really the ultimate aim here. -
@warrenm the goal is admirable, but difficult to see how to do that until we magically become a post scarcity reality/ planet. (so unlikely) -
@cartazio Yeah, I've been doing some musing on post-scarcity lately, and it's probably made me a bit idealistic. -
@warrenm then we can attack the society bit. Btw the banks culture books give an interesting view of what post scarcity could look like. -
@cartazio Should I start from the beginning, or is there a stand-out book on this topic? - 5 more replies

@warrenm@scott_bot Right. The "meritocracy is a myth" post read suspiciously like "Hey, how come *I*'m not in the meritocracy! Not fair!" -
@MikeTaylor@warrenm Legitimate gripe re: stacked criteria & self-reinforcing merit; solution is rewarding potential as well as success.
