Her får vi fortjent ros fordi vi betaler til fælleskassen og stemmer fornuftigt og pragmatisk i stedet for ideologisk.

The Anglo-Saxon world is not so different from Poland and Hungary. Britain has handled Covid-19 so disastrously because only servile nobodies, willing to pretend that a no-deal Brexit would not harm the country, could gain admittance to Boris Johnson’s cabinet.

Rather than grab at standard explanations, Applebaum understands that a society based on merit may sound fine if you want to live in a country run by talented people. But what if you are not yourself talented? Since the 1950s, criticisms of meritocracy have become so commonplace they have passed into cliche. Not one I have read or indeed written stops to consider how one-party states represent the anti-meritocratic society in its purest form. Among her friends who became the servants of authoritarian movements, Applebaum sees the consequences of the lust for status among resentful men and women, who believe the old world never gave them their due.

One club-goer told me about a “bottle Olympics” between two customers from India and Pakistan that he witnessed one night, each striving to outdo the other in ordering rare bottles of champagne. A backdrop of beautiful women facilitated such primitive battles. Status is a sensitive thing. It exists only when an audience recognises it: it cannot be bought outright without a loss of status. 

Fortrinlig artikel. Vi mindes 8 år gamle Den bedste nat til ½ million og forsøger os på dansk.

24 Hours at Club Marquee in Las Vegas

If you've been to Vegas, you've heard about it or stood in line to get in. Marquee, the superest of the superclubs, sprawls over an astonishing 60,000 square feet. It allows you to party very, very hard. For just thousands of dollars! Would you like bottle service...

Det simple liv

Skamløst. Hvordan undslipper de rige følelsen af skyld over deres privilegier – og hvad kan vi lære af det? Amerikanske sociologer har søgt svaret i eksklusive VIP-klubber og blandt ultrarige i en øde, naturskøn lomme af USA.

Politiken er bedre end Facebook. På Politiken tager de nemlig signaleringsarbejdet rigtigt seriøst.

Dr. Cleese er så umådelig morsom og velformuleret. I tilgift korrekt. Her taler han om nogen du kender.

Dr. Weinsten ved så dertil noget om den brugbare og nyttige højre- og venstrefløj.

Siri, hvis mig morsom selvovervurdering:

Jeg skriver hurtigt, så jeg har nok sammenlagt brugt 1 time på at diskutere dit opslag. Hvis du sammenholder det med hvor mange mennesker, der er blevet varigt klogere er der jo helt enormt ROI!
