A #kakistocracy is a state of #government, in which the incompetent and most scrupulous people hold #power. The opposite of a #meritocracy. A perfect, contemporary example of a kakistocracy is the current #US #administration, while #China is the closest the world has to offer for a meritocracy.

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. -
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).

When a growth mindset environment emerges, “equality happens”.
Carol Dweck tells a story of a Chicago high school that distributed “Not Yet” grades instead of failing grades.
Carol Dweck relates the power of “yet”: When students see the word "yet", they build confidence to continue and persist with their learning, making mistakes and working from them.
Here is the TED talk by Carol Dweck on "the power of believing that you can improve": https://www.ted.com/talks/carol_dweck_the_power_of_believing_that_you_can_improve#teaching #mindSets #DEI #societalEquality #socialJustice #TEDtalk #believe #success #learning #growthMindset #talent #joy #willingness #control #merit #success #doubt #personalDevelopment #school #assignments #assessments #education #imagination #performance #ranking #grades #meritocracy #practice #training #diversityOfPractice #science #believe #CarolDweck

"What makes the ‘#growth mentality’ so appealing, Carol Dweck discovered, is that it creates a passion for learning rather than this thirst for approval. Its hallmark is the belief that human qualities like intelligence and creativity, and even relational capacities like love and friendship, can be cultivated through effort and practice. Not only are people with this mindset not discouraged by failure, they don't actually see themselves as failures in these situations, they see themselves as learners."Samah Karaki, doctor in #neuroscience, wrote in her book "Le talent est une fiction"

Every time we make a mistake, our brain opens to #learning.
National schools humiliate children. A motivation is that its role is to justify the social status assigned to each.
Other forms of learning, on the other hand, have no meritocratic mission: children can learn for themselves.#neuroscience #raceMaking #adultDomination #patriarchy #intelligence #growth #talent #teaching #joy #willingness #antiPsych #psychology #control #merit #success #doubt #personalDevelopment #school #assignments #assessments #education #imagination #performance #ranking #SamahKaraki #meritocracy #practice #training

White people who think racism is mostly a thing of the past, or that if people of color have trouble getting jobs it must be because they're lazy or unqualified, you need to take a look at this: https://tech.lgbt/@kitsunecafe/113199844429725786
Racists are everywhere, including in "liberal" or "enlightened" fields like tech, and they'll just deadass scuttle people's chances of getting hired for bogus reasons.
