I just have the belief that civilization is a system that tames people into obedience.
Very obedient/normed people who adheres to a culture or lifestyle habits, will often acquire a high social status because they can get access to the benefits of a group.
You don't escape poverty through merit or effort, you just "belong" with people of a certain social status that identify with cultures and habits.
That's how civilized humans behave, and that's the role of government and modern society to mitigate those ingroup behaviors. That's the whole point of the job interview, to test if a person fits as a feeling of belonging to a certain group, not as a matter of skill or competence.
- Blackstone4 5y agoNormally you have a job interview because on paper you are deemed to be skilled enough to do the job. Belonging is helpful but effort and merit go a long way. It’s a multi factor problem. At my work, I’ve had to move people into new roles out of the company because while they ‘belonged’ socially… they were not up to the job…
