We basically already have this. During the economic crisis, there wasn't a lot of voting on how to save the banks. It's interesting whether brexit and trump will really have that much of an effect, or if we are already mostly living in a technocracy.

England also has the house of lords.

We should just put machines in charge. I don't trust any humans to rule over me anymore. Power corrupts, absolutely

Could work (because better decisions were made), or could be terrible (because people stopped feeling responsible).

We should try it :-)

Time to assemble all the evidence in both directions from sci-fi (such as most of Star Trek: TOS, some of Futurama, etc), feed it into a deep learning algorithm and see if it models a better machine society or a worse one. I trust this is a useful first case to test this hypothesis. :)

This algorithm needs to be very crafty to avoid manipulation. We'll have to constantly re-adjust the weights

Math is already in charge of society. More math would be good for all of us
