Disclaimer: armchair politik.
Benevolent dictatorship. Someone who can think better than mostly everyone and is dedicated to service to the nation above all else.
In theory (s)he always makes the best decision because (s)he is not swayed by excess emotion and is able to keep the best interest of the nation in view at all times.
Another option arises if we have a truly objective test of benevolent rationality (yes I just made that term up now), then we could weight votes by this measure; this will change political rhetoric from emotional to rational and it would encourage all members of society to become more rational.
- rm445 10y agoA reasonable strategy, so long as one accepts from the outset that no human could be a sufficiently competent dictator, and even if occasionally someone was 'close enough' then succession crises would de-stabilise the system. We need to design and build our own benevolent dictator, and then keep it running and upgraded as needed :-)
