Why YSK: because what seems like equal situation from surface isn’t always equal opportunity for all. And even when equal measure of help is provided, it might not be equally useful.

    Meritocracy is a myth though, perpetuated by those lucky enough to benefit from existing systems.

    It’s completely circular. I’m on top and the people who are on top are the best so because I’m on top I’m the best.

    It never accounts for all the myriad non-merit related ways folks get on top in the first place.

      The problem isn’t even meritocracy or equality as goals, we just straight up haven’t achieved them yet.
