This makes me think of ‘Why a meritocracy is corrosive to society’ by Philosphize This!
It was very interesting to hear the downsides expressed, and how ingrained it is in society to the point that we don’t even notice.
Perhaps the most important point: how thankful we should be to have the skills to be highly valued in this environment, which will give you some empathy to the people who don’t.
