America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Elitisme even bedreigend als populisme
Bij ‘racisme’ of ‘seksisme’ worden mensen beoordeeld op huidskleur of gender en als gevolg daarvan anders en minderwaardig gevonden. Maar er is ook iets...

Hoogopgeleiden die neerkijken op laagopgeleiden: een helaas veel voorkomend fenomeen dat educationisme heet.
Volgens @tkupp.bsky.social “is het schadelijk voor de betrokkenen en voor de samenleving als geheel”

Er is een verschil tussen (1) streven naar succes en beter willen doen dan anderen en (2) neerkijken op mensen die het niet geprobeerd of gehaald hebben omdat ze niet ‘smart’ genoeg zijn. Mijn kritiek is op (2)

Wat mij eraan stoort is dat ‘the ordinary’ pejoratief klinkt, en ik vind een negatieve houding tegenover mensen met een ander diploma problematisch. Je kiest een master om verder te komen, maar waarom wil je slimmer voelen dan iemand anders?

Mijn eigen universiteit gaat met de slogan ‘Outsmart the ordinary’ masterstudenten werven. Dat is jammer. Het lijkt me toch een voorbeeld van het superioriteitsgevoel bij hoogopgeleiden

Erg goede reactie op de claim (van oa @schimmelpenninck.bsky.social ) dat er geen biases/vooroordelen zouden zijn op basis van oploeidingsniveau… die zijn er wel degelijk

High-status people who do not believe society is meritocratic appear to be concerned about inequality but do not support measures to reduce inequality

Title page of "Caught Between Ideology and Self‐Interest: Subjective
Social Status and Meritocratic Beliefs Shape Whether
People Perceive, Feel Anger About, and Want to Change
Economic Conflict"
Abstract: "Belief in meritocracy and social status are central to understanding how people think and behave in relation to economic conflict. In this paper, we investigate how belief in meritocracy is moderated by (subjective) social status for three different aspects of citizens' attitudes towards economic inequality and conflict, namely (1) perceived conflict, (2) anger about economic inequality and (3) intentions to change economic conflict (egalitarianism). Data from the International Social Survey Programme on 29 countries reveal that the effect of meritocracy depends on social status and differs meaningfully across the three attitudes. For people high in social status, belief in meritocracy relates to lower perceptions of conflict, anger, and egalitarianism. For people with a low subjective social status there is no or a weak relation of belief in meritocracy with the outcomes. In addition, when belief in meritocracy was low, those with a high subjective social status appeared to be concerned about inequality as they perceived more economic conflict and felt more anger than those with a low subjective social status. However, this was not the case for intentions to reduce inequality. Hence, these effects of meritocracy and social status should be understood in light of self-interest concerns of social groups, rather than solely ideological domination."

Figure 3: Predicted values of egalitarianism across belief meritocracy and subjective social status.
🏁New paper! Social status moderates the effect of belief in meritocracy on economic conflict attitudes. Meritocracy doesn't always legitimize inequality and sometimes it does more :)
