Hey all,
I don't have a big theory or any sort of hypothesis on what "merit" entails, but I'm interested and inquiring what you all have experienced with the concept. First, I'll let you know that I'm coming at this with analysis of two spectra (however you want to call it) in university tenure and how companies hire people for new jobs. I'll post more thoughts in detail later as I have errands to run but I just wanted to pique some sort of interest in the conversation, in particular, is "merit/meritocracy" fundamentally broken, do we push it because we ultimately want to encourage leisure and complacency, and will there be an alternative in the future?
