I have given my "model" some thoughts and unfortunately arrive at the conclusion that it probably won't change much, for the following reasons:
- Extraordinary scientists and engineers usually don't like management, so eventually management goes into the "managers". The rest is history.
- How can we make sure that ordinary people have a say? In my model I frankly dismiss their right to rule because they cannot compete with the elite scientists.
But again maybe this is still better than what we have today. Imagine the whole society functioning as a huge university. Sure you get corruption and cronyism in universities too, but at least if you mess up something and if you get caught, you will be shunned.
