Is this what meritocracy ghouls do to their kids? "You have to study really hard to get into this place that's had a spot for you since the day you were born!"
Everyone I know whose been raised with this kind of bullshit has really struggled. Either they fail at something, realise the world hasn't ended like their parents said it would and spent the next few decades coasting or they finally reached the end limits of structured education and training and in the absense of anything else to do, coasted.
Im probably lucky that my parents efforts to push me to succeed were kinda lazy and sporadic.
