The odd thing is usually the "Well why don't we do the correct thing?" dumbasses just go for some sort of technocracy where the experts (TM) are in charge.

How do those experts get decided? Listen, that's for other experts to figure out, I just want shit to work.

The existing experts are able to define what expertise is for the incoming potential experts. It’s a pure meritocracy where merit is defined by those already in power. Tying this to money, prestige, and power will have no unintended consequences.

Isnt merit always defined by those who are in рower to mean those who are like them?
