Meritocracy is not as good an idea as it seems to be in practice.
- perl4ever 7y ago"Meritocracy is not as good an idea as it seems to be in practice" Why not just consider that it is a label which may not apply to the reality you observe? Have we gotten to the point where considering that any X is not Y is considered a "no true Scotsman" fallacy?
