I don’t know if you’ve discussed this before when it comes to Sortition or if I’ve told you this, but my favorite part of Sortition is that it could potentially empower the bureaucrats within government. They’re already quite useful and are the workhorse in Congress as an example, but combined with the potential for less incentive for ideological rigidity and lower corruption, I think they would become more valuable and respected.
indeed! i’ve sorta had my eyes opened a bit that our government has many buried experts. i do think that using sortition bodies to appoint, empower, and have oversight of bureaucrats would be great. and i also think having bureaucrats come before sortition bodies to share they’re experience would be great.
