From Vitruvius' "Ten Books on Architecture" via Google Books:

>It is true that by arithmetic the total cost of buildings is calculated and measurements are computed, but difficult questions involving symmetry are solved by means of geometrical theories and methods.

>mfw when even "the first engineer known by name" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitruvius#cite_ref-3)) lol'd at mathfags as nothing more than number-crunchers and pencil pushing accountants.

Government members are elected via selection from prize winners, inventors, people who have been recognized for their excellence in their field. There can be ten people as candidates for a Minister of Health, where a Minister is chosen by normal citizens in the nation who have experience or expertise relating to the field. So people like doctors, medical students, physicians would be voting. As for individual laws, a similar thing happens, where the government has 50% of the vote deciding if a law passes or not where the people that the law affects or is related to in their field have the other 50%.

I am unaware of any similar governmental system to this so I call it technocratic democracy. A nice beld between anti-corruption and letting the country be run like a popularity contest.

No because I could reenact my childhood dream of showing them future technologies from humans and watching the awe and inspiration on their face.

Two hundred nation states. Six global powers. The potential, to become one planet.

Also there are far more stupid people than smart people.

looking bright!
if you maintain a B+ to A- average you are fine and will probably get some really nice scholarships, as aforementioned engifags said.
