Lottery system. No more elected positions, just random appointment based on lottery from pools of qualified volunteers that throw their hat in. Similarly for top appointment positions. Some lottery pools have requirements, like to be a supreme court justice, you have to have practiced law for X years. Top generals, you have to have served at or above a certain rank for X years and still be active duty. And so on.
No more campaigning, no more political parties, no more consolidation of power. You essentially just end up with a random assortment of minimally qualified citizen peers every term rotation. They generally don't know each other, and so aren't incentivized to cover up institutional corruption.
You could argue that random (but technically qualified) people could be crazy, or have wild values different from their peers. You could also argue they might not be the best choice for the job vs. peers. But look at your elected officials today. Are they anything like your peers? Are they truly the best, brightest picks? Do their values really represent common citizens?

This is rhe same reason I will never buy a house on slab: gotta hammer up the floor, fix, repour and refloor if you ever need those pipes down below.
Whoa I never considered AI inbreeding as a death for AI π€
Maybe these schools will be forced to go mask-off and drop all their nonprofit academic programs to focus on football, their true cash cow.
It's not that they're doing something special, it's a cultual attitude thing. Finns feel content that they have enough, and aren't upset they don't have more. They consider that to mean "happy" for the purpose of these kinds of surveys.
Why don't I just Google. It's the same data after all.
Ayn Rand collected social security checks after retirement until her death.
That should tell you all you need to know about Ayn Rand.
Tax unrealized capital gains on a generous progressive scale instead of maintaining a realized gains tax.
