Every day, millions of lives are shaped not by merit, but by moods.

Every day, millions of lives are shaped not by merit, but by moods. The exhausted teacher grading at the end of the week, the distracted surgeon rushing to leave for an event, the judge sentencing just before lunch, the banker reviewing loans in the shadow of a recession-these are the fragile gatekeepers of modern life. The Illusion of Objectivity exposes the hidden truth we seldom admit: our systems are not fair, our processes are not impartial, and our fates are often determined by nothing more than whether the person deciding had a good day-or a bad one. Through history, modern case studies, and philosophical reflection, Richard Sweeney dismantles the myth of meritocracy and reveals the invisible variable shaping education, medicine, finance, and justice: human fragility. More than critique, this manifesto calls for urgent reform-transparent systems, collective decision-making, dual oversight between humans and algorithms, and above all, the humility to design institutions that expect imperfection. This is not a book about despair. It is a book about clarity, accountability, and the possibility of building a world where destiny is not dictated by someone else's mood.
