I wasnt advocating for being ruled by scientists, I am pointing out the fact that they are admitting that we are being ruled by politicians. So the answer to the question of whether I want to be RULED by either, my answer would be neither, I do not accept this false dichotomy, as I do not wish to be ruled at all.
I didn't think you did. I just find the argument ridiculous, because it wouldn't be any different than what we have now. Might even be worse, as politicians tend to be cowards.
However, I agree about not wanting to be ruled by any man (or woman, for that matter). I bow only to my Lord and Savior.
As someone with an engineering degree, I will say that you do not want nerds making up the bulk of legislatures and bureaus. Listening to nerds is part of the reason why we are in the mess we are in now.
My reason for my comment is more for that many of the people I encountered in my studies fail to take care of themselves and are not well-rounded people. I don't think it hurts to have a few people with technical backgrounds if they are well-rounded individuals. Lord knows we have more than enough lawyers making our imagined order ever more complicated. But yes, the thought of scientists trying to approach lawmaking and policy enforcement via the scientific method is disturbing.
As a former union steward. I agree completely.
As a gov employee, yes. Long past time to get rid of these unions.
So, nothing would actually change. Scientists have proven themselves to be for sale to get funding for their projects. So, it would be status quo.

Amen.
They forgot their job description.
