My feelings are more directed towards how these constituent members are selected. You're quite right in that it doesn't function all that differently from a bunch of politicians discussing an issue, but in this case, they only take in the best minds, only the ones that further broaden the entire system's perspective. I wouldn't be surprised if they had some of the best minds with regards to a wide range of fields, be it philosophy, science, psychology, art, or mathematics. If that wasn't enough, Sybil seeks to fill in the gaps by taking in anyone who can contribute a new way of thinking into the system. It's pretty much a working and thriving aristocracy, looking at the whole thing closely.
