If someone builds a hoard by screwing people over, he hasn’t earned anything. It is stolen wealth. His wealth is illegitimate and should be returned to the victims. Most of the super-rich hoards are illegitimate and the right thing to do is to return that money to the people it was taken from. Slave-owner families […]
Won’t Meritocracy lose out on all the philanthropy that powerful men provide?
The typical super-rich man has no interest in helping the public and no ability to do so, anyway. Most super-rich people specialize in one thing: making themselves richer. If they actually cared about society they would not hoard wealth. They would not pay politicians to pass laws that damage the rest of us. Even if […]
Isn’t technology and the complexity of life part of the problem? How will Meritocracy bring us back to our roots, instead of overwhelming us with techno-madness?
Techno-madness is a form of consumerism, where marketing departments spend millions convincing you to be obsessed with shopping. Techno-madness is techno-abuse, similar to drug abuse. If technology is abused, it becomes dehumanizing and alienating. The best engineers in the world right now spend their lives doing trivial things like keeping Farmville running. This is a […]
Doesn’t Meritocracy assume that many more people have “the right stuff” to be leaders?
True leadership doesn’t come from being born with a silver spoon in your mouth. A true leader isn’t made when his dad pulls some strings and lands him a cushy job at the top of the org chart. How many genuinely competent aristocratic playboys have you met? These Princes are clueless and they have no […]
Don’t you think innovators like Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, and Thomas Edison earned their fortunes?
They did earn their wealth, but then they died. Their kids didn’t earn anything. Is it right that when a millionaire dies, his wealth should be used as a weapon to enslave the rest of us? Trust fund babies guard their hoard by bribing politicians, exploiting tax loopholes, and undermining the opportunities of everyone else. […]
How does Meritocracy differ from all the other utopian schemes that were dangerous and harmful?
Charlatans use the promise of utopia to fool people. But Meritocracy is not a utopian vision; it’s a dead-simple, perfectly reasonable system based on tried and tested principles. It is not pie-in-the-sky; it is here-and-now. Meritocracy is centered on the real problems that we have today and describes precisely what steps must be taken to […]
If people aren’t afraid of falling into poverty, what will stop them from slacking off and letting the economy suffer?
Research has shown that workers threatened by poverty are less creative, less engaged, and achieve poorer results. You can have slave workers grinding from paycheck to paycheck, or you can have healthy employees dipping into inspiration, being creative, striving for excellence, and aiming to make a dent in the world. Which do you think results […]
Can’t media propaganda just trick people into thinking that someone has merit, when he actually does not?
A meritorious person is elected by those qualified to judge merit for that specific position of power. The most informed people, who are making the key decisions, will have no interest in media reports. Experts in a particular field are far better informed than the media could ever hope to be. Can you imagine Bill […]
Won’t Meritocrats just abuse their power and screw over the rest of society the way politicians and CEOs currently do?
If a particular expert abuses his position, the other people in his field will instantly see this because they can tell the difference between a good idea and a bad idea. An economist who claims that he is helping the economy while actually just helping his friends will fool the general public, but he cannot […]
Doesn’t the Millionaire Estate Tax infringe on the freedom of millionaires to do what they please with their wealth?
Real freedom is when every child has the opportunity to develop his or her talents; when every sick person has access to healthcare, and every family has a roof over their head. Do you honestly think that the most important freedom right now is the freedom for millionaires to throw their weight around? Just how […]
