Quote by Michael Faust

“Meritocracy is a sacred cause, not profane. It is numinous. Meritocracy is about the glory and highest aspirations of the human race, not about letting people run around doing their own thing regardless of everyone else, and fretting over which hamburger to choose. If that’s all you want from life, you might as well go and live in the jungle.”
