> At this point, we can just randomly pick a citizen to be President or PM. We might have better chances that way
I have a wild idea. What if we try to select people based on their respective expertise in an area, rather than based on just popularity? If they have a science/knowledge background, even better.
Since it's based on skill and governance, we can call it something like "tekhne kratos", taking inspiration from the Greeks because why not.
A true technocracy would mean a lot of oxygen wasters will lose their jobs, money, livelihood and influence.
It will probably work out better for the citizenry, but I don't see how we'd ever end up there short of a violent revolution - the current system is self-serving first and foremost and will never allow itself to be replaced even if that is the true will of the citizens.
