Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News? We've already had to ask you this, and you've unfortunately continued to do it. We want thoughtful, curious conversation here. If you want to say something about what you think meritocracy is or isn't, that's fine, as long as you do it in the intended spirit.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it. Note this one:

"Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead."
