The political system needs better governance and decision-making. There are too many politicians who are experts at getting elected but not necessarily good leaders or decision-makers. The system should require politicians to demonstrate an ability to perform and make good decisions at lower-level offices before running for higher office. A negative contrarian role, like the Roman censors, could be implemented to review and critique politicians' decisions. It is important to have multi-disciplinary experts and generalists in decision-making positions to provide guidance and avoid over-specialization. Education should focus on critical thinking and producing wide boundary thinkers. Universities should encourage undergraduates to take courses outside their field to gain a broad understanding. This holistic approach is vital for the future of governance.
