Dear friends,
How to Replace the Current Meritocracy (from David Brooks)
1. find and train the people best equipped to be nuclear physicists and medical researchers. [why not the best persons from, in simpler, higher education since the ignorance in education got us into this mess?]
2. to humanize and improve meritocracy.
3. change how we define merit.
4. great faith in raw brainpower and naturally adopted a rationalist view of humans, but the rationalists assumed that whatever can’t be counted and measured doesn’t matter. But it does.
5. importance of noncognitive traits shows up everywhere.
Four crucial qualities of the Humanist Turn
1. Curiosity.
2. A sense of drive and mission.
3. Social intelligence.
4. Agility. [“intellectual agility”]
