This week we delve into how ideal a meritocratic world be. A speech by Alain de Botton about emotional education sparked our conversation. We talk about how detrimental it is that the society we currently live in is one where people are judged and categorized based off of just their job titles. We discuss ways in which we can reduce this from happening. From this viewpoint, Ayesha explained a justifiable way our society has been built and how life is not totally unfair. This is where the concept of unfair advantages comes up and is detailed by Ash Ali and Hasan Kubba in their book, 'The Unfair Advantage'. We hope you gain a new perspective about how the modern world is run and how we can use this to our advantage.
