That’s not how we get there.

Weiss interviews Vivek.

He’s obviously running to be Trump’s VP, no matter how strongly he asserts otherwise. This is standard political strategy. Nobody ever SAYS he’s running for VP.

Vivek is pushing for “raw unfiltered meritocracy”. That’s exactly how we got into the current grotesque situation where a few monstrous psychopaths own the world and everyone else vainly struggles to live and breathe. He’s NOT seeking a revolution, he’s EXACTLY seeking to continue the status quo because it serves HIS purposes beautifully.

From 1945 to 1970 ordinary people could achieve security with a decent house, a car, and a family, on a job an ordinary man can do. That’s the meaningful type of merit.

We DIDN’T reach that point by unfiltered meritocracy. We DID get there by strictly restraining and controlling psychopathic top-seeking assholes like Vivek.
