There Were Admittedly Aspects of the Book I liked
People may judge me for saying this part (pun almost intended), but there was one aspect of this book that I thoroughly enjoyed. As a perceiving type on the Meyer Briggs, I do tend to find the excess of the Judging function around the discussion these subjects a little cognitively taxing. I liked that this book didn't "judge" the reader outright like many other books on these subjects tend to do. I don't resonate with Fi as well as I do Fe and I do like that this author harmonized with the reader rather than insult them for not perfectly aligning with said author's personal moral compass. One thing I would like to see in the future is more books on ontological mathematics written from the perceiving perspective, and this is one of the only books I've seen successfully pull that off.
However, the reason I have to give this book 3 stars is because a couple of the author's points directly contradict the concept of Meritocracy. Part of the whole point of Meritocracy is that a Monad is given the freedom to NOT be defined by their parents subjectivity and limitations. This book argues the opposite, but really their line of reasoning would only work if all parents were enlightened on the truth and educated on psychology. Many Einstein's, Carl Jung's and Leibniz's have likely been lost in our course of history simply by merit of being born to the wrong parents (alcoholics, hedonists, religious fundamentalists, violently mentally ill, etc.) What's more, many parents don't have the same Meyer Briggs as their child and though that never gets discussed, I genuinely think that alone is a source of a lot of childhood trauma that gets overlooked in our current society.
All in all, I have mixed feelings about this book. I'm not going to judge this author for having bold opinions or making bold statements, but I do find that there is a lack of consistency in what they are presenting. I recommend more research should be done on the author's part if they truly align with meritocracy, and I also urge them to do deeper research on psychology and sociology. I agree with the other review that they do come across as a disguised individualist with discordant, anarchist viewpoints that distort the actual definition of left-wing Meritocracy.
