Professor Wants Admission Lottery To Eliminate Meritocracy

Every facet of K-selection is noxious to the rabbits:

To “solve the problem of meritocracy,” one professor argues that elite universities should use an “admissions lottery” to select which students they accept.

Joseph Soares, who teaches in the department of Sociology at Wake Forest University, advanced the claim in an article for the Journal of Ethnic and Racial Studies, in which he argues that college entrance exams like the SAT and ACT “are predictively weak and biased, stigmatizing minorities as underperformers” and should therefore be disregarded.

Rabbits deeply hate all forms of meritocracy. I have no idea how that could be encoded in the brain, but you can see how neurotic the left will become when the K-selection of the Apocalypse makes the meritocracy have far more affect than the mere entrance into the college of your choice.

Spread r/K Theory, because meritocracy is the only path to greatness

Wake Forest has a decent med school, imagine randomized admissions. You’d soon have randomized doctors, randomized medical results. Randomized mortality. It’s the hawk. This guy Mr. Soares, probably passes by the medical school every day and feels inadequate compared to MDs, being only a mere sociologist. Instead of minding his own business or working harder he does what feels good to him, which is encouraging the hawk of random mortality. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

He’s lying. The SAT and ACT (being poorly disguised IQ tests) are predicatively STRONG, and therefore, biased to show minorities as under-performers.

If the universities were not receiving massive government funding, this wouldn’t be an issue.

Of course, if they weren’t receiving government funds he wouldn’t be so @#$# r in the first place and it wouldn’t come up.

If we had a strong meritocratic system in place this guy would not be in the position to say it should be removed…

K’s have been way too lenient.

The r-mind isn’t entirely stupid. They intuitively understand that when winter comes, they will be expected to earn their keep, so any system that reveals unfitness is seen as mortally threatening, even if the actual critical resource shortage is a long time off.
