I don't know why you were downvoted. I really appreciate how thorough you were and the links you provided.
I'm still drafting a reply. I just think it's weird you got downvoted.

Yeah, it's sort of a chicken before the egg problem - you need an expert to identify one. The potential for echo chambers is there.
In practice, though, wouldn't it be similar to how any other role is filled?
Here's one criterion: Outcomes. What is their track record? Have they made meaningful contributions that solve complex problems? I don't need an intimate knowledge of carpentry to see that a contractor's reviews have photos of great (or not so great) work.
The actual electoral process could be a variety of approaches, and all have their weaknesses, but most would be 'less wrong' than the current system.
Hardly any economist would agree with a tariff, yet here we are.
I don't have a stake in whether it's a nomination system by academic organizations, or some other minimum bar, or whether the process is still ultimately democratic, etc. One can theorycraft all kinds of technocratic electoral systems and their weaknesses, but I'm gonna need some convincing that any systems' flaws are worse than what we have now.
Yeah, I agree that's an issue. In a way, Americans are experiencing that live, today.
What about a variant of technocracy that accounts for conflicts of interest?
This seems like a game you'd do with other programmers, lol.
I can understand using AI to write some potentially verbose or syntactically hell lines to save time and headaches.
The whole coding process? No. 😭
Aww, thank you! I already posted 2 resource/guides that are widely applicable.
Please reply to them with feedback or create your own posts!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!
I hope you join! The community is new, but I'm already working on stickied posts of resources. Expect another post in the community within 2 hours.
I appreciate you agreeing with some technical requirements, but I want some perspective for why it's not a good idea. It seems like we're in agreement, though.
