The only real value I can see with democracy is in being able to pull the lever and get a new set of dice to role if things go bad.
Beyond that it seems to be mostly mythology and nonsense. You either have smart good rulers or you don't. At least if we don't they only have so much time to do damage and we try again.
The idea democracy gives people agency over their future I would put in the category of mythology.
