I enjoy thinking of the ideals of a meritocracy. However my cynical and jaded side always ends up telling me that a meritocracy would never come to pass. Mainly due to the fact that those in power wouldn't like to consider the fact they may not be the most intelligent or amongst those who make the most effort in any given thing and so instead of reforming they will cling to power any way they can.
An adhocracy is also an interesting idea because it gives equal worth to everyone. Unfortunately I can't think of a way to make it a viable or stable form of government for prolonged periods of time without slipping into a quasi-state of anarchy.
