Well… I had friends working in research or drafting advice that ends up in the hands of policy-makers. And while these people are motivated and want to do their job well, I disagree that they're providing the best advice.
Politicians don't need to know the details but should know understand the wider, larger brushstrokes of the painting. That would be worlds easier if tech people listened to Bruce Schneier and started getting into policy.
Someone who's had a career in tech can probably tell good from bad advice when it comes to the best interests of the public in mind. And perhaps they'd be less corruptible by the best interests of the wealthy.
