I mean - ruling should suck. It shouldn't be an attractive position. Our rulers should be those that want to do good for the people, not because it is a comfy gig with lots of fame and de facto billionaire status.
- MonadIsPronad 6y agoNot sure if it's related, but consistently the best engineering managers I encounter are those that do not want to be managers.
- notahacker 6y agoIf you want rulers to be selected on the basis of ambitions to do good for the people, eliminating any form of popular approval in favour of random selection is highly unlikely to be your best choice. And the more uncomfortable you make it not to opt-out, the more you'll select for people who've figured out a strategy to benefit from all that power despite the lack of officially sanctioned perks.
- RealityVoid 6y agoIf doing good to the people sucks, a lot of people who want to do good but can't endure the suckyness would not go for that.
