There is still no conflict though, so long as class privilege and wealth can be transformed into ability and talent.

- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoWell no because the definition is 'rather than class privilege or wealth.' Transforming wealth into ability and talent is class privilege.
- khedoros1 9y agoIf ability comes from wealth, it's still ability. I'd read "rather than class privilege or wealth" to mean that those things aren't considered merits in and of themselves, except to the degree that they can help someone achieve their full potential.
