A small issue with number 5. How is an average technologist going to do any better with things like tax policy, immigration policy, energy or foreign policy than an account, lawyer or civil engineer? I wonder if we would all be better of trying to use technology to get good candidates in office that are not beholden to large agenda driven donors.

I think it's ok to be politically active in certain topics without having an answer to all open questions in society.

Absolutely true. However we also need people who do have solutions/ideas to these problems running for office even if they don’t know how to flip bits. It would be nice to see technology enabling skilled candidates rather than troll farms.
