Technologists, unlike politicians, have a luxury of creating a system and offering it to others, without asking for trust (in form of election or other) or promising doing some specific work (to support the system, to use it etc.) If the system is good, others will use it; otherwise they won't.
As I understand it, Schneier's idea is to ask technologists to work on systems solving - even partially - problems which we see today in the society. Even partial solution can help those whose job is to, in general, govern, i.e. politicians - as well as hired bureaucrats.
