That’s an interesting topic btw - what is the way for any dictatorship to work well for everyone’s benefit in theory? If it’s dictatorship of the wise, would smartest people get put into place with absolute power? Is it an expectation that people currently in power pass power voluntarily to wiser people? Would there be a framework that determines wisest people and it would be decided upon by the popular consensus? Isn’t it technically still a democracy if people trust in the framework/system that governs how smartest people are decided upon?
A democratic process could be used for selection, but you would also need to limit corruption by taking any incentive from the people in power.
Like it is not possible for them to gain more than the median all others in a nation have for the rest if their lives. A good incentive to govern with the future in mind, because you only improve your future when you improve everyones. Another the prestige ofc.
