実力も運のうち

実力主義の信仰は誤りであるだけでなく害悪https://t.co/FOrC5mLWrH　実力とされるものは運によって左右される部分が莫大で，実力主義は社会がいかに機能しているかについて理解を狂わす。実力主義は成功した人へのお世辞でもある。これへの信仰は利己主義・差別・不幸な人々に対する無関心を助長する

Although widely held, the belief that merit rather than luck determines success or failure in the world is demonstrably false. This is not least because merit itself is, in large part, the result of luck. Talent and the capacity for determined effort, sometimes called ‘grit’, depend a great deal on one’s genetic endowments and upbringing.

 

Despite the moral assurance and personal flattery that meritocracy offers to the successful, it ought to be abandoned both as a belief about how the world works and as a general social ideal. It’s false, and believing in it encourages selfishness, discrimination and indifference to the plight of the unfortunate.

運も実力のうち、という言葉があるが、むしろ実力も運のうち、というかんじかな ？
