Merit will always matter. But there is a war against merit by the worthless, soulless, DEI worshipping left.

[Jonty30]

It matters for long-term survival. No merit will eventually kill off whatever business is not using it.

Is there audio of this interview?

[Carl Vehse]

Merit is antithetical to D.I.E.

One of these concepts must be destroyed.

[faithhopecharity]

yes, merit definitely still matters

if you’re actually qualified, they’ll turn you down every time now

merit matters a whole lot

[E. Pluribus Unum]

For sure it won’t matter once they have their Central Bank Digital Currency / Social Credit System in place.

What a brilliant man. He truly is a treasure and should be quoted often to all people.

In its period of decadence, as Western Civilization has sunk intellectually, morally, and in every possible way to the lowest levels of “woke”, all standards are lowered.

Merit always matters, but merit means different things to different people.

To a traditionalist, “merit” means “ability to accomplish a task.”

To a progressive, “merit” means “ability and willingness to do what one is told.”

Spent some time at Stanford in the 70’s. It’s gone to he$$ but Hoover is independent from the school. Hansen, Condi Rice and Sowell are...cool. A friend used to give me grief for attending a ‘Jr’ university.

So many clear thinkers, who warned anyone who would listen about what we are experiencing today, have passed on.

At one time, Dr. Sowell was one among many of the clear thinkers on the subject of Economics. Today, he is perhaps the last of their kind.

We might be very lucky to see him talk lucidly about Economics if he turns 100. Maybe we will have turned a corner for the good by then.

Merit no, melanin yes.

Thomas Sowell bump.

“Does Merit Still Matter?”

Absolutely!

And countries that work on the merit system will obliterate those on the DEI system - guaranteed!

DEI = Didn’t Earn It.
