  • I mean, university itself tries hard to create the perception of a meritocratic system through its testing and filtering mechanisms. You can go through a complete undergrad degree not only without having the inequities around you pointed out, but the opposite - having a strenghtened feeling of meritocratic success. I know I did. Unlearning that took many years and a lot of luck. Of course some programs wouldn’t let you get away like that but the curriculum contradicts many of the university’s processes. I wish a specially crafted minor in humanities was mandatory for every university grad but also a version of such curriculum should be taught even in high school. A pipe dream.
