- CyberDildonics 9y agoWhere did I say that it was? I'm saying a meritocracy is a goal. You also gave nothing to back up your assertion, but again, I'm talking about priorities.
- UnpossibleJim 9y agoI'm curious. Which professional sector is a meritocracy? From what I've seen, and I may not have seen enough, nothing is a true meritocracy, or really even approaches it. P.S. I'm not trying to be snarky. I really do want some examples (outside of certain sports, I guess) of actual meritocracies. I can't think of one =[
- sleepingpanda 9y agoI would argue pure meritocracies become bureaucracies. No need to know the person, just put in their merits. Everyone knows their pay grade and everyone knows what it takes to get to the next level. However, how effective are bureaucracies, well just look at government.
