Meritocracy is racist so we need to replace it with kakistocracy.

Daniel Markovitz the author of "The Meritocracy Trap: How America's Foundational Myth Feeds Inequality, Dismantles the Middle Class, and Devours the Elite" was on Sam Harris' podcast this week.

I haven't listened to it yet. Sam Harris is "red-pilled" on IQ. I wonder how that podcast went. I'll give it a listen.

You're better off watching this 1 hour Glenn Loury podcast than the 2 hour Sam Harris conversation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsdpnU10he8

Nothing. It's a boring and false premise and he often conflates "winner take all-ism" with meritocracy. Standard anti-meritocracy drivel.
