The Illusion of Meritocracy - Ep. 20 ft. anattynook (Equality vs Equity, Malaysia vs Singapore...) Head in the Clouds
-
- Documentary
In this episode, I chatted with Nat of anattynook to pick her brain about meritocracy. Growing up, people have always told me about the supposed meritocracy in Singapore that has allowed it to prosper beyond Malaysia's capacity. I took this as the truth until I thought deeper about it. Because really, is a true, equal, and just meritocracy even possible when we all have different starting lines? In this episode, we discuss the limited and academic nature of "acceptable" merits (in Singapore especially), the need to be exceptional, and more.
