>No society has tried selecting random people in adulthood to put in charge.
This is a practice called 'sordition'. As evidenced by the fact it has a name and a Wikipedia article, it is not something you just invented. It was famously used in Athens and is how American juries are selected today,
I think I would support a revival of sordition. Perhaps we could start small, perhaps by selecting one representative for each state at random.
Sortition happened in adulthood, though. The interesting (and untried) experiment is to designate people early in life, so they can grow up being educated and prepared for their future responsibility.
Python is quick and dirty and always has been. The language designers have regularly papered over design flaws using hacks and magic syntax.
Which is acceptable. Python is a valuable tool I use on a daily basis. But I find it annoying when Python programmers are snooty about "Pythonic" code.
The thesis I've heard (and agree with) is that Python is a good everything language. For specialization there is always a better tool (although maybe more complex to get started).
