    problem with random lottery is that 50% of people are more stupid than you. a scientific board across various sciences, social, economic, technological to form a government. double terms allowed and after that they become advisors. randomly selected scientists from a pool of willing participants. say 13 people? no elections. all policy decisions discussed in the open. the board is self policing as it kicks out bad apples. obviously needs fleshing out but a better form of government than we have now where politicians can ignore science and do stupid stuff cos they can
