Meritocracy

I have just now learned that I live in an actual, real life, sociological theory called a meritocracy. A meritocracy is a society structured according to "merit", or in a practical sense, according to tangible ability. Basically, run personal responsibility through a societal blender and you'll get social self-worth. You do good? You're good. You do bad? You're bad. Such is the nature of this culture's profession. And, like all cultures, it's relatively relativity bullshit.

I don't know why it has taken me this long to realize this, nor do I understand why it is at all relevant, but at least I know now.
