Mencius Moldbug believes that if we were living in a world of many mini sovereign corporations who compete for citizens, then they would be forced to be rational. They will try to seek every way to keep paying customers (taxpayers).
Another dune idea could be relevant over here—The god emperor. Have a really long lived guy be king. He cannot take the short cuts that many others do and has to think properly on how to govern.
Addendum—I understand that this is a system builder’s perspective, and not an entrepreneur’s perspective, i.e. a meta answer rather than an answer, sorry for that.
That sounds like an evolution-style search, and he ought to be more careful, evolution only optimizes for the utility function—in this case, the ability to trap and hold “customers”.
I would categorize that among the pre-rational systems of government—alongside representative democracy, kings, constitutions, etc. A set of rules or a single decider to do the thinking for a species who can’t think straight on their own.
I was more interested in what a rationalist government would be like.
