    How about the current system where we vote and do science?

      Or, maybe we already do 100% science. It’s just that the agenda isn’t precisely popular. And the voting is just for show.

        Science is an empirical method of finding fact.

        Government is a philosophical method of seeking truth.

        You are being pretty incoherent.

        How does science determine the order initiatives are addressed?

          Well first we would change beans into peas.

          The rest is trivial.

      99% of the voters wouldn’t know science if it bit them on the butt

        Sounds like a wildly unscientific statement, considering e.g ~10% of the US population works in STEM.

          That doesn’t seem to make much of a difference, strangely enough.

        You make a good case for your own argument.

            I mean, trying to prove your own theory by being the perfect case study seems a little extreme…
