I think you're right about the issues of democracy but I don't agree that there may be a better alternative. Unless something changes very fundamentally in our world, a 'meritocracy' (or any way at all of selecting the people who can have power) will be a plutocracy. I think the changes in order to make democracy work would be less difficult, and it comes with less danger. Leaving only the policy part to specialists but having a democratic process of electing and controlling them is good, but that's just how our democracy is supposed to work
