For some time now, I'm thinking about ways how to make democracy more productive, in sense of smarter governance. Even though democracy gave us freedoms and participation into directing polices of government, it is still pretty mediocre tool, bringing likewise effects.
Democracy - mediocracy, it pretty much averages smarts of society, therefore more often or not electing not the smartest people to run our countries, sometimes even crazies.

We prize our health immensely, so when we are sick, we go to the specialist. Almost always it is a MD with 7 years of medical education and many years of practice. But how we treat health of our countries it is a different story. We choose leader by the look, by eloquent language spruced up with countless promises. We choose actors, lawyers, electricians, soldiers, etc, to run countries of millions. We chose carrier politicians that don't have basic understanding about economy.

I don't think democracy works very well in current form. Something has to be done.

At the end of a day I would like to see the smartest and most honest people governing us. I just don't know how it can be done yet.
