Testing for empathy and selflessness would be interesting. In general we could have much higher standards for out representatives.

The issue now is that nothing will be implimented to change the status quo without mass upheaval and revolution.

I think it's more about trying to ensure the right kind of system is implimented after the inevitable collapse of our current one.
