&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;{{CoreValue}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Definition==&lt;br /&gt;
* We are a post-ideological meritocracy. &lt;br /&gt;
* Policy and decision-making must be based on evidence and scientific reasoning. &lt;br /&gt;
* The approach that works best, or the person who does the best job, must be chosen over the alternatives. &lt;br /&gt;
* Where possible, we avoid making decisions or selecting leaders based on tradition, popularity, authority or ideology. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Justification==&lt;br /&gt;
Hard work means reward. Those who put in effort should be those in charge. This will lead to capable leaders and a more diverse society. A more diverse society means a more equal one. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Discussion ==&lt;br /&gt;
California objected to this and asked for it to be updated to : &amp;#039;We are a post-ideological values-based meritocracy. &lt;br /&gt;
[http://masspirates.org/wiki/index.php?title=August_23rd,_2012_IRC_Meeting Mass Pirates Meeting]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The core value detail: Policy and decision-making must be based on evidence and scientific reasoning. &lt;br /&gt;
was removed and replaced by  : We place all options on the table. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The core value detail : The approach that works best, or the person who does the best job, must be chosen over the alternatives. &lt;br /&gt;
was replaced by : We choose a specific approach because the available evidence shows that it is the best way to promote our values. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The standing point is : We do not make decisions based merely on tradition, popularity, authority or political expediency. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
