The problem with governments is that they're composed of people, and people tend to be stupid, corrupt, or both.
I think was you meant to say was: The problem with democracies is that they're often run by the majority opinon of people, and people tend to be stupid, corrupt, or both.
We could build a government that wasn't composed of just people, or even of people who fit some criteria of non-stupid and non-corrupt, and it would still be a government.
Stupidity and corruption are also problems with dictatorship and its variants as well.
And "democracy + dictatorship and it's variants" is obviously the set of all possible workable forms of government?
Until SIAI finishes their main project I think we're stuck with using people.
This is extremely hard as Goodhart's law tends to make this whatever proxy you use less reliable very quickly.
