Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.
有什么方法可以解决刚才提到的这些焦虑呢?是有的。我想提出几项,先说“功绩主义”,也就是相信每个人的地位忠实呈现他的能力,我认为这种想法太疯狂了,我可以支持所有相信这个想法的,无论是左倾还是右倾的政治家,我同样相信功绩主义,但我认为一个完全彻底以能力取决地位的社会,是个不可能的梦想。
