How "meritocracy" went from a joke to a dogma, and destroyed the lives of everyone it touched

An interesting correlate to your point is that the younger the population you serve, the less you get paid (pediatricians, kindergarten teachers, daycare providers, etc.) While it may sound self serving, this is just the opposite of the level of impact these same folks have on the future and therefore, IMHO, the level of value society would be well advised to place on them. But what do I know?

Whenever I hear someone justify high CEO pay by saying it’s due to their “impact on society” I point out that, in that case, the highest paid people should be kindergarten teachers…
