[Ameritocracy is] a way to help you make an informed judgment, rather than making a judgment for you. We’re not being offered the Truth (always a false offer anyhow). We’re being offered a specific tool in the hope that we can make better judgments of the information we have.

Go check out the post, and the rest of her blog as well.  Thoughtful stuff, every time, we’re honored to impress in any way.
