Meritocracy: the system where only the most skilled and capable rise to the top.
In this system, everyone starts at the bottom and must work their way up, with every rung of the ladder marked by a small, yet significant, improvement.
We're not talking about a democracy, where everyone's voice is heard and every vote counts. No, we're talking about a meritocracy, where the loudest voice is the one that matters.
Here's the hierarchy, from bottom to top:
At the very bottom, you'll find the Unremarkable. They're the ones who just exist, taking up space and resources without contributing much.

One rung up is the Slightly-Better-Than-Average. They're the ones who try, but not hard enough, to make a difference.

Finally, at the very top, you'll find the Alpha. They're the ones who rule the roost, with their unparalleled skills and abilities.
