We should work to reduce the influence of miners. Selfish miners are part of the problem of long confirmation times. As block rewards move towards fees rather than the halving finders rewards, mining operations may return to a byproduct of running a full node.
A bit too late I am afraid.
Any new hard fork is chosen by the miners, so how exactly is there a path from a miner determined process to one that isnt?
I am not debating what is better, just about the reality of the math. It is usually best to not fight against the math.
Maybe you can trick them to adopt something that appears neutral or even in their favor, but it isnt but highly doubtful they will miss that. One possibility is a tradeoff of giving miners even more in the short term, in exchange for less influence after this bakshish period
