Meritocracy is a system that rewards the best and brightest. People in meritocracy are rewarded based on their accomplishments.

One can rightly sum up modern and contemporary art in this: โI just like it this way, it shows how I feel.โ
It is the age where art has become, as Lukรกcs correctly said, a luxury item for idle parasites. It is the age where the religion of pity has turned suffering into a way of being; hence, its sickness lies in what Pascal Bruckner encapsulated thus: โI suffer so I am.โ It is the age of sentimentalism, and the age where in every individual a Romantic lies hidden. Romanticism is a symptom of decline that manifests itself in weak, self-detesting intellect and 'instincts', to paraphrase Spengler slightly. When Romanticism (and sentimentalism) manifests itself, it creates men who are infantile; โmen who remain children too long (or forever).โ
Modern and contemporary artists lack any sense of intellectual honesty; it is to them โtoo masculine, too healthy, too sober.โ It is the same sentimentality that makes you โimpelled by the morbid idea of reforming societyโ and liberating everything from the past manners of discipline. By saying that they โlike it this way,โ they are trying so badly to compensate for their lack of artistic talent. To be untalented is the norm today, and to be trained to be worse with time is the zenith of creativity and originality.

Digital distractions play a more important role in peopleโs lives than they imagine. In recent years, as the boundary between work and life blends, jobs become more demanding, and community traditions degrade, more and more people are failing to cultivate the high-quality leisure lives that Aristotle identifies as crucial for human happiness. This leaves a void, an emptiness, that would be near unbearable if confronted, but that can be ignored with the help of digital noise.
