Maybe We Should Let Machines Pick Our Leaders

In light of recent world events it may be time to consider that letting people run countries based on their ability to get elected may not be the best way to do things. Perhaps it's time to let computers decide who is best equipped to be in charge of these enormous economies and bureaucracies. Handing the choice over to an unthinking machine algorithm may seem like a crazy alternative, but would it be any worse than the way we do things now? Humans have experimented with many different ways to select leaders, including elections, heredity, and military coups. But nobody has ever trusted the running of a country to a machine before.
