politics

what do we think the effect would be if we paid politicians way way more

e.g. US president $1b salary for four years, senators $100m etc

There’d be a lot more competition leading to better surface-level options. The problem is democracy selects for popularity rather than effectiveness so they would just be more charismatic, not necessarily better.

Yes but there would be a lot more people saying "I want to go into politics" than do now

Yeah absolutely, which is a good goal I’d argue
