About this listen

A powerful narrative that doesn’t empower us, but instead obscures profound social inequalities… and keeps us blaming ourselves instead of the systems that shape our lives.
This is the heart of what sociologists call The Meritocracy Myth.
Yes, individual effort matters. But the idea that effort alone determines outcomes oversimplifies the complex forces that shape a person’s life.
And this idea isn’t new. Confucius imagined governance by merit, not birthright. Plato dreamed of philosopher‑kings chosen for wisdom. Napoleon declared “careers open to talents.”
Across history, humans have longed for fairness.
