Topic: Fao Triptych re: meritocracy

Meta started this discussion 8 years ago #66,355

What do you think about meritocracy in things like academia and sports?

For example, the only university I qualified to enroll in is a third-rate university (University of Houston-Downtown), which basically admits anyone with a pulse.

This is because I'm a slacker with a low future time orientation and a love for the bottle.

Should my mediocre academic record disqualify me from going to a top university?

Or, alternately, he could be a satellite TV repairman who posts on obscure chans and makes up wild, senile stories about being triple secret agents, and abandon his own daughter. His choice I guess.
