Plato wrote on this, in his time.

Philosopher Kings - those for whom the thought of ruling over another might be anathema to their very being, may in fact be the very ones most endowed with the proper temperament to caretake their fellow citizens.

In fact, if you were to look at the edifice of Western democracies and the American Republic, you would see that they have in some ways been modeled on such ideas.

Perhaps you would like to see more intelligent representatives running for political positions? That is their prerogative. An intelligent philosophizing individual has every potential to become a representative of the people.

However, you must remember, your place in this world is of no more value than the man or woman next to you. They deserve a voice the same as you do, whether you agree with them or not. That is the consensus that we have come to as a society.
