You're right in that pure meritocracy without bias doesn't exist. It never has, and probably never will. However, the post you replied to argued that we should strive for a more meritocratic society, and I think we can all agree that some societies are more meritocratic than others. That's what I take issue with on your point. I challenge you to name a perfect system in the universe that was created by a human. Just because perfection doesn't truly exist doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for it anyway. Or else what's the point in even being here?
