A meritocracy with someone dangling out treats to those who meet your subjective criteria would be worse than anything George Orwell envisioned. "'Meritocracy' attempts to establish a standard by which motivated crusaders can achieve success. Well, that's fine and commendable if we could all agree upon the criteria for defining achievement. But society has such a varied view of significance in collective accomplishment, that consensus is virtually impossible." quicksitebuilder.cnet.com
