I love the idea of sortition. Wish more people knew and used the word in their political vocabularies. I've always wanted to see someone experiment with a hybrid. A coin has value because it has two sides (e.g. just one coin face spend very well). So I've always wanted to see sortition and meritocratic elections paired. Either you use a lottery system to select who can run for office in a given cycle (say 1000 people get the nod to run for State Senator), and then those that wish of that set can run for office in the traditional way. OR You use a voting system to select a set of candidates (say 5-10 of them) and then "cast lots" to select the winner. Either way allows the electorate to steer the process, but also accepts the hand of fate. Marries chaos and order, yin and yang, stability and turbulence. I've always wished that there was more record of this having been tried out. And respect for the value of a little chaos in the system. Large system designers often use turbelence/randomness in ways that reinforce otherwise ordered systems.
