Yet, in the last 500 years, there has never been a time that you could have government by science. In the 1840s, the idea of sanitation was put forth and the doctor was driven from the profession.
Science, even at it’s very best, is an exceedingly poor choice as a form of government.
science is not a form of anything, it is its own discipline.
Government is emotion, deceit and power. Science has often overcome bad government since government needs money and arms.
And it as at times overcome religions, that tried to stifle scientific discovery in the name of superstitions.
