U guys need to stop seeing our society as a meritocracy and see for what it really is which is a class society with American dream marketing to keep the common middle working and complacent
SATs exist so upper class kids have a way to hack the system and claim legitimacy for upper class status titles
That's all
Problem with "meritocracy" in 1990s-2000s is that the Ivies filled up with kids getting perfect SAT scores at same time as cranking out "excellent sheep" rather than revolutionizers of physics, or at least people who could have seen the 2008 Financial Crash coming. So, what exactly was all that "brainpower" producing for the universities' host societies? This weakness in the meritocracy was part why the 2010s "alternative" was able to gain so much ground so quickly, though it's not like this was exactly producing the next Feynman either
