Going to the book store today to see if they can find me a copy. Hoping they have Michael Sandel's book The Tyranny of Meritocracy in stock.

This book introduced the term "meritocracy" and warned of its troubling implications, like the hubris it would create in the most successful and their subsequent looking down on others, in part to justify to themselves that they earned and deserve their good fortunes.

Michael mentions this book in his lecture, which I have an ai bot cleaning up the transcript so I can memorize and re-give it (I know I'm weird, but maybe you will too and then it won't be weird, memorizing important speeches)
