Is meritocracy a myth?

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

Objection: We object to the romanticization of "healing" culture in the media today.

Look, you're confusing two things here. People actually *need* to talk about their trauma and mental health—that's not romanticization, that's just basic humanity. For decades we buried it and ended up with epidemics of depression, suicide, addiction. Now we're finally naming the problem and it gets better. What's happened is the media's *coverage* of healing got sensationalized, sure. But that's not the culture's fault—that's clickbait journalism. The real healing happening in therapists' offices and support groups? That's unglamorous, hard work. You're attacking the Instagram version while ignoring that actual people are getting their lives back. Which bothers you more—that healing exists, or that it's getting attention?
