It was more a logical conclusion that the people with the best education should have a seat in the senate. That was not limited, but also included philosophers. They strived for the best results for Athens and the country as a whole.
Would they become corrupted and powerhungry? I dont know. Thats always a possibility.
But from a logical standpoint there is not much to argue against. Which was exactly the way they came to this conclusion. Arguing until they had the commonly agreed on best result for everyone. Arguing and critizising until they found the essence of how a state should be governed.
Where they wrong? If so we should all stop right there because our whole democratic system is built on it. Thus making our ways wrong.
It is a theory tho and maybe we are more ruled by kings than we want to admit.









Looks like hes splurging on it.
