The problem with that idea is that there wasn&#x27;t an orderly way to replace rulers when they ceased to govern effectively. So you might get one good king then a string of bad ones. Example: Marcus Aurelius and his son Commodus.<p>Being bred and raised to govern isn&#x27;t a good thing in some people. It gives them a sense of entitlement that makes them ineffective. Far better people should have to try out for the position. Which is of course how many dynasties originally begin.<p>Democracy kind of sucks in ways, but it mostly works better than government by &quot;specialists&quot;.<p>Really I can&#x27;t wait for government by machine. I have to suppose it&#x27;s inevitable given time.
