"Consider the idea of meritocracy...Incidentally, this desire to succeed at all costs is the same ethos that motivates a sociopath.
The word 'striver' has become a euphemism for a social chameleon who is willing to flatter, steal, deceive, betray, and mold his personality to function as a reliable sycophant.
The beautiful theory of Meritocracy (government by the best, brightest, kindest), when applied, has been sociopathic.
If anyone can be a winner, hard work is always rewarded, and you always get what you deserve, then losers deserve to lose. Suffering is earned. Poverty is justice.
Downward mobility is not attributed to imperial decay crushing an entire generation — rather, individual poverty and underemployment is caused by a lack of HUSTLE."
