@downbeatplumb which is a fair step towards equality of opportunity until the face-to-face where we humans add all our biases in naturally. That promotes a more egalitarian society and I think it's helpful to have a more egalitarian focused society when working towards what dictates success. Equality of opportunity is not equality of outcome though and it's been shown that more egalitarian societies actually accentuate fundamental differences in the subject strengthening the pareto distribution and creating more inequality in individuals.
@Anomalocaris - ok so money is the merit by which we currently measure merit. It's predicted best by how much you inherit as opposed to how much you earn.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
