Биография

Of all the speculative philosophies, merit is the utmost suppositious, being the discipline with the least definite foundation. This is because it deals with assigning value to the world and its fixtures from a perspective that is invariably confined to its own assumptions and premises. Constructing a meritocracy requires a metric by which value can be assessed/issued in a way that encompasses all disparate domains and entities. It arranges power by this standardized metric, such that prominence construes worthiness and value. Golden boy is the culminating figure of this environment, the specimen produced by all estimations of how the utmost meritorious figure would appear. The image of him, gilded, lofty and without burden, appears to the senses with intrinsic sightliness and admiration. He is so praiseworthy because these attributes presuppose value and worth within the system. Especially when it comes to ascribing+justifying power do these apparent qualities matter. For in our assessment of authority, we know where to look for justification, and that is, of course, atop the meritocracy, where qualifications for being the utmost correspond with the physical conditions of the status itself, of being held aloft in the sunlight. Exalted in gilded form, this image is repeatedly posed with the idea that it showcases man at his highest achievement, which, ironically, is man @his most artificial.
