A technocrats actually makes sense. But that isn't practical. People always at some point end up hiring their friends and putting people they know in positions of power. Nepotism and cronyism are just natural progressions, even when systems of governance start out with good intentions. Eventually someone always ruins it for everyone else.

What about random-selection jury-style technocracy?

that doesn't sound like a technocracy or an oligarchy of any kind. that just sounds like direct democracy by lots, unless i am misunderstanding you.

A robust series of checks and balances would also help.
