[FRIAM] not science, but enlightenment

[Steve Smith]

seems like a good way to vet Senators?

    /Joining the council involved a grueling initiation. Each
    candidate's septum was pierced. His clothes were torn off, and
    people pushed & insulted him, testing his patience. Finally, he
    lived in a temple for two years where he observed deprivations &
    received training in ethics./

I can think of a few who would never even consider the job, much less
make it through the initiation.   Millenials and Xers would have an
advantage on the Septum thing.
