I agree with everything you say, however I am pessimistic on your view of builders; look at those who are "builders" and have money and political ambitions: thiel and zuck for example. Corrupt as hell.

Sure they have built stuff but I wouldn't trust them.

Heck at this point the only builders I think we could trust would be musk and gates...

Plus, this article ( https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/oct/05/smartphon... ) was on top of HN last week; innovators and builders feeling guilt about what they have made, even though it was all good intentions.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely

zuck obviously has never been one to carry a moral compass, but what's so bad about Thiel?

Anyways, the problem with politicians is their ability to get themselves elected already disqualifies them from the job. At least doctors, engineers, and scientists from the hard sciences seem to have to show some kind of positive merit, even if they're still not a perfect lot.
