The Karma of the Beautiful Game: How Spain’s 2026 Victory Rewrote the Script for Trump and the Aggies
In many ways, Spain’s 2026 triumph stands as a glorious, inescapable metaphor for what happens when performative ego, systemic meddling, and brute gamesmanship run smack into the unyielding wall of competence and poise. -

I don't usually link to articles in the FT because they are behind an (albeit permeable) paywall... however, this great piece in the FT Magazine today by Jinu Koola on the case for Norwegian mediocracy, as a preferable alternative to US 'meritocracy', is well worth a read.
[If you have 'reader view', or similar, on your browser, you'll be able to access it without the images (which you don't need)]
Enjoy & (likely) nod as you read.

Ah, the joy of watching Harvard's admissions process reduced to a carnival game of Plinko! 🎢 Turns out, the Sorting Machine is a master class in exclusion, with SAT scores and sports trophies vying for dominance while merit awkwardly shuffles to the back of the line. 🏆📉 Who knew getting into college was the ultimate zero-sum game, right? 🤡

For those who still believed the term „meritocracy" is not ideological: trumps Intervention with fifa shows what those ones advocating it really mean with it.
It was never about removing injustice and letting everyone have a fair chance.
It was always about maintaining inequality.They will tell you you are not working hard enough whilest making sure that you never work hard enough...
spare me that bs

Fun fact:
🇷🇴 Romania’s president, Nicușor Dan, was one of the 11 students to solve the legendary Problem 6 at the 1988 IMO.
He scored a perfect 42/42 that year, alongside future Fields Medalist 🇻🇳 Ngô Bảo Châu. 🇨🇦 Ravi Vakil also solved it.
🇦🇺 Terence Tao, aged just 13, got 1/7 on that problem, aced almost everything else, and still won a gold medal. @tao
In fact, Dan won two consecutive perfect-score gold medals at IMO (1987 & 1988).

The Myth of Meritocracy
By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News
Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — Thursday, June 4, 2026, 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time
Meritocracy is widely assumed to be the organizing principle behind modern hiring and governance. The idea is simple and reassuring: the most capable individuals rise to positions of responsibility based on skill, effort, and demonstrated competence. Yet observable outcomes increasingly contradict this assumption. Repeated leadership failures, institutional stagnation, and persistent misalignment between authority and capability suggest that meritocracy, as commonly understood, is not functioning as advertised.
This article examines what merit-based selection would actually require, how current systems operate instead, and why the gap between the two matters for institutional survival.
What Merit-Based Selection Would Require
In practical terms, a merit-based system would prioritize demonstrated ability to perform the work in question. That includes relevant skills, judgment under uncertainty, the capacity to synthesize information across domains, and a documented record of making sound decisions over time. It would also require the ability to challenge faulty assumptions and adapt when conditions change.
Merit-based selection is not about perfection or elite credentials. It is about functional competence: whether an individual can reliably perform the duties of the role in real-world conditions. In complex organizations, this often includes experience navigating failure, recognizing systemic risk, and correcting course without external prompting.
If such criteria were consistently applied, outcomes would show a strong correlation between authority and performance. In many institutions, they do not.
What Current Systems Actually Measure
Modern hiring systems rarely evaluate candidates on their ability to do the work as it is actually performed. Instead, they prioritize signals that can be quickly processed at scale. These include resume formatting, keyword alignment with job descriptions, credential familiarity, and narrative conformity.
The widespread use of automated screening tools has intensified this shift. Resumes are increasingly filtered based on textual similarity rather than substantive capability. Candidates who are adept at mirroring job descriptions, regardless of whether they possess the underlying skills, are rewarded with visibility. Those whose experience does not translate cleanly into standardized language are often excluded early in the process.
This approach favors candidates who understand how to perform alignment rather than those who understand how to perform the work. Over time, this creates a selection bias toward presentation skill and institutional legibility, rather than competence.
Automation and the Scaling of Bias
Hiring platforms did not invent these biases, but they have amplified them. Systems designed to manage large applicant pools rely on reduction: fewer variables, simpler comparisons, and faster elimination. As a result, nonconforming candidates are filtered out not because they are unqualified, but because they are difficult to categorize.
Automation rewards predictability. It penalizes unconventional career paths, cross-disciplinary experience, and non-linear progression—traits that are often associated with problem-solving and innovation. The more an applicant resembles a predefined template, the more likely they are to advance.
This dynamic creates a paradox. As organizations claim to seek innovation and adaptability, their selection systems increasingly favor sameness and risk avoidance.
Observable Outcomes That Contradict Meritocracy
If meritocracy were operating effectively, leadership outcomes would improve over time. Institutions would learn from past failures, retain institutional memory, and demonstrate increasing competence in crisis management. In many cases, the opposite is true.
Across sectors, organizations repeatedly elevate individuals who perform well in stable conditions but struggle under stress. Decision-makers are recycled despite documented failures. Strategic errors are repeated even when prior consequences are well known. Responsibility is diffuse, while accountability is limited.
These patterns are not random. They are consistent with selection systems that prioritize safety, familiarity, and non-disruption over demonstrated ability.
Risk Avoidance as a Selection Principle
One of the least examined drivers of modern hiring is risk avoidance. Selection processes are often structured to minimize perceived downside rather than maximize potential upside. Candidates who might challenge existing assumptions, expose internal weaknesses, or disrupt established hierarchies are treated as liabilities.
This approach is reinforced by legal and reputational pressures. Subjective judgments are embedded in language such as “culture fit,” “communication style,” or “organizational alignment.” These criteria are difficult to measure, difficult to contest, and easy to defend after the fact. They also allow decision-makers to exclude candidates who are competent but inconvenient.
Over time, risk avoidance becomes self-reinforcing. Institutions staffed by individuals selected for minimal disruption become less capable of recognizing or responding to systemic threats.
Why the Meritocracy Myth Persists
Despite mounting evidence, the belief in meritocracy remains deeply entrenched. One reason is that it provides moral cover. If outcomes are assumed to be merit-based, failures can be attributed to individual shortcomings rather than systemic design. This deflects scrutiny from selection mechanisms themselves.
Another reason is that the myth benefits those already in positions of authority. If the system is presumed fair, existing hierarchies appear justified. Questioning the validity of merit-based selection challenges not only hiring practices, but the legitimacy of current leadership.
As a result, institutions often invest more effort in defending the appearance of meritocracy than in examining whether it functions in practice.
Why This Matters Beyond Hiring
Selection systems shape more than careers. They shape institutional intelligence. When organizations consistently choose candidates based on legibility and conformity rather than capability, they reduce their capacity to learn, adapt, and respond to change.
In periods of stability, these weaknesses may remain hidden. In periods of disruption, they become visible quickly. The consequences include delayed responses, misallocation of resources, and an inability to correct course before failures become systemic.
Meritocracy is often framed as a moral ideal. In reality, it is a functional requirement. Institutions that fail to align authority with competence do not merely become unfair. They become fragile.
This article begins a series examining how modern hiring and governance systems have drifted away from merit-based selection, what has replaced it, and why that shift is undermining institutional performance. Subsequent articles will document the specific mechanisms that now govern access to decision-making authority, and the costs of maintaining them.

"Part of the pro- #capitalist psychosis is the naive assumption that the system is a perfect #meritocracy in which everyone always gets exactly what they deserve."
Another cheap strawman for the collection. I still hold out hope that some day someone who hates capitalism will do so on the basic of an honest criticism and actually understanding of what it is, not this sort of hyperbolic nonsense.

When the polar ice caps melt, not only will it release tons of carbon, but viruses frozen in time get released back into the wild.
Then there's fish farms, cow farms, general #meat production, which keeps animals in unsanitary conditions and dumps insane amounts of antibiotics into organic systems.
Then there's the hate for #WHO, a mouth piece for the world's health professionals - an actual #meritocracy - being dragged in the dirt by #conspiracy theorists.

#Meritocracy is a strange beast when you start to look deeper.
Is there greater merit by what one person can achieve because of unlimited energy levels than someone who very swiftly tires yet applies themselves with greater effort in spite of that predication?
Much of life is based on the effect of what you do. Should that be the focal meritorious aspect?

Listen, son. The amount of jank #VibeCoding is churning out is not going to replace systems architect or assembly coders anytime soon.
But as we all know, #SiliconValley is all talk, no brains and much bluster. It's the biggest privatized #PsyOp on earth.
That's what you get when you make an unholy marriage between #tech, #marketing & #finance companies.
So much for #meritocracy.

'The Many Myths of Meritocracy' by Zoe Bee:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6RcWUeHDk8This video sums up so many flaws with our basic conception of "who deserves what" and "hard work pays off" that it should almost be required 'reading' for every responsible citizen, let alone politician and lawmaker.
This is not some ideology, this is how the world works. And its in the best interest of the ruling class to make us believe otherwise
