So, if democracy is bad....then why not adopt technocracy and not let those rubes anywhere near a position of power?

The American Medical Association, after extensive research, has found that me being trans is not a sign there's anything wrong with me. Who cares if 99% of this shithole wants me dead? Experts say I'm fine and that's all that matters. Not my fault most people are unthinking morons.

Designing the optimal governing system is idealist, but I do admit I am interested in the topic. My picks are sociocracy and liquid democracy, which might be described like a crossover between direct democracy and technocratic representation

In the end though, it's dependent on material conditions how we should organize ourselves
