    True meritocracy had never been implemented in any human society larger than a small village.

    It had been partially implemented in several places/times

    What we have today is a partially implemented one in middle management, technocrats and engineers.

    Where out of touch upper management and owners are the rule. But if I look at any successful company I will find the tech and middle management running it day to day

      We’re so close to just having the workers run their own affairs, the table is set we just have to make everyone realize the actual owners are useless and do nothing

        And more than just realizing that, we need to find a realistic path to take that power away from them.

          And more than that not have a different group of upper class later. As had happened always.

          I’d rather not go through the churn if no real difference a few years later
