Just wanted to note that one of my publishers has just put out a new
book on rank:

<<It presents rankism as the last hurdle on the long road from aristocracy to
a true meritocracy, brings into focus a dignitarian revolution that is
already taking shape, and offers a preview of post-rankist society.>>

This discussion wasn't ever about aristocracy (except for the elderly queen
playing cricket and getting high fived). The pope became pope through
meritocracy!

Within meritocracy, don't some people have more merit than others?

This looks really interesting - the excerpt provided is about ranking
in education. Thanks David!!

Thanks david. That'll go on my reading list. Just when I think I'm going
completely batty, I find out someone at Columbia has some of the same ideas. A
physics professor, tho. Hmm. That's interesting.
