People who aren't so boxed into the status quo (ideologically and financially) that they can't fathom anything being more important than technology, "productivity", and the almighty GDP. People whose top priority is to actually listen to society with an open mind, and find ways to improve the quality of life of everyone.

Technocrats hear about the mental health problems plaguing society and rush to invent a robotic therapist and stronger psychiatric medication to try to curb the symptoms instead of treating systemic causes that have lead to the situation, like the role of our economic system, exploitation that people face, lack of access to mental health services.

A CEO who's guaranteed to be invested into maintaining the status quo is the worst possible option, it's a comical conflict of interest. What does a "proven history" look like, anyway?

We need to figure out a way to link the compensation of our representatives to how well the bottom half of society is doing to get the incentives aligned. Any ideas?
