The big problem with direct democracy is that most people would not really be knowledgeable
about the necessary decisions.
How about a system where the voters can put people in charge who are sort of experts in certain relevant fields? That sounds like something which might work.

Honestly, Swiss democracy sucks and gets racist about every topic.
How does this hypothetical system deal with a situation where most of the people in charge are experts in the same field, making their collective expertise relatively narrow and unrepresentative of the population at large?
