On: Down with Meritocracy (2001)

I understand, but it's a pressing matter with regards to children. Their whole lives are over before they've started.

Maybe if a child shows great aptitude in some areas, and very poor aptitude in some others (which are currently highly valued), it shouldn't wreck their future.

Seems like we should repurpose internships to be less competitive and more of a way to onboard everyone into the job market broadly.
