  1. Yes, I do remember meritocracy being something nerds cared about, especially when they'd get passed up on for a job, raise, or promotion to the guy whose big attributes were either going to the same college, being in the same frat, or loving the same sports teams, with a major boost if the guy played and was liked for his role on said sports team, but otherwise could barely do any of the work assigned to him. Anti-meritocracy is similar in that the person hired, getting the raise or promotions is liked because of hitting favorable quotas, and not for if the person can, or actually has done his job well to merit such accolades.
