> Politicians have no understanding of exponential growth
To be fair, that is true of 95% of humanity.
These politicians are representative of their voters, as democracy should be.

Isn't it that they make decisions on behalf of the voters and should take the best professional advice on their behalf?
I don’t have any well-thought-out solutions, but I am tickled by the idea of frequently anarchically randomising the way power gets donated from the people to the government.
The idea is that every citizen would be involved in one, maybe two laws in their entire lifetime, therefore giving them the sense that this is the one time they can contribute to politics in a meaningful way. Also their names are tied to that particular law forever, meaning that fear of social pressure could be more effective than for a politician who votes for 1000s of things in their political career.
So far we have never come up with a working political system that banishes this stuff. It's a game theory problem.
