    There’s a much greater chance of seating someone with zero life experience or insane ideas or maybe just illiterate.

    That’s fine. And there definitely will be some of them in this Senate. But they will only be 1 vote out of 1000.

    As long as the majority of people in the country have life experience, sane ideas, and can read, it will be fine. And even the inexperienced, insane illiterates out there will get their proportional representation.

    (Though I would be open to having eligibility requirements beyond only citizenship – such as being at least 18 years old, not currently incarcerated, and having a high school or equivalent education.)
