V is migrating to @@nova meritocracy is literally just a fancy word for eugenics.
People who can Do More Work get more resources and spread, and people who cannot Do Work at all get nothing and die. That's eugenics.
The fact that anyone thinks it could be a good thing no matter how you twist it is disgusting.

riotRhino@V @nova I can't second this enough. What qualifies as merritable? Who decides? What actions are taken based on those decisions? We are not headed in a good direction here.
I have enjoyed the utopia vision offered in Orville, and will always love a space opera, but when it was stated that Earth's future economy is a meritocracy I had to throw that out and pretend it is not part of the canon.
