Meritocracy has become a leading social ideal. Politicians across the ideological spectrum continually return to the theme that the rewards of life—money, power, jobs, university admission—should be distributed according to skill and effort.

    I dislike that this conflates meritocracy the economic system with meritocracy the political system. I don’t want people to be able to eat based on their talents. I do want health policy to be built by people who have studied science.
