If the government collects taxes from startups of the most brilliant minds why not pay enormous money to the geniuses to go into politics?
We have dumb politicians, and clever lobbyists that play them around. And since we would make it criminal to lobby or influence the politics from the outside there would be no need to give the super-smart politicians ideas because they would invent them themselves.
Imagine Warren Buffett as the finance minister, Bill Gates as the prime minister, Peter Thiel as the minister of inventions, Mark Zuckerberg as the minster of technology, and so on and so on.
But the deal is – you would have to pay them.
