Go find a monarchy to live in then. These ideas are in direct opposition to what the ancestors of our nation were fleeing:

- must act based on current science and knowledge (religious oppression)

- positions of power more power to act unilaterally (monarchy)

- appointed or offered to people from a qualified pool (nobility)

Nope, nothing I suggest is close to a monarchy; I'm very against such an anachronistic institution. You've gone out of your way to make a ton of ridiculous assumptions to build a worst case scenario here.

But, yes, religious oppression to a point is a good thing. At a minimum kids should not be allowed to be indoctrinated.

More power to act unilaterally does not equal complete power to act unilaterally i.e. a monarchy.

A qualified pool would be based on education, not heredity.

What incorrect actions or non-actions would be corrected under this system? How do you prevent "for your own good" from becoming the bad thing.

[PrimeMcFly]

By having checks and balances in place.
