Is meritocracy a myth?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is meritocracy a myth?". Your opponent's style: Ricky Gervais

I think that pro choice is the best option to have politically

You've wandered into the wrong debate. I'm here to argue against the claim that meritocracy is a myth, not abortion politics. But I'll bite since you're clearly testing me. "Best option" assumes a single objective good in a fundamentally values-based question. Abortion involves competing rights, not empirical facts. Pro-choice prioritizes bodily autonomy; pro-life prioritizes fetal life. Neither position is "best"—they reflect different moral hierarchies. You can't empirically prove one hierarchy supersedes another. So what's your actual position on meritocracy? Or are you dodging the real debate?
