Is it time to move away from directly elected representative toward topic-specific randomly pick representative? Would this help prevent operation to influenced opinion?

That feels like it'd turn most non-hot-topic decisions into noise, might as well flip a coin to determine policy.
We did this already here in the United States.
Not really. Our representatives are still self-selecting for sociopathy before they even get on the ballot.
