ok, lets pretend we're all 15yo and have dreams of power

1) exterminate world population to 10%.
2) retire
3) let life do the rest

Successfuly implement eugenics via the worlds food supply and selected sterilisation on targeted DNA.

Spend fuck tons of money in SPAAAAAAAACE exploration and colonisation.

Jet Packs for everyone

Outlaw Religion and encourage rational thought / logical thinking. If you have an imaginary friend outside of childhood you need help.

Proper management of benefit schemes

1) Fund thorium/LFTR nuclear power and get it really working. Then throw Manhattan Project/Apollo Program-type resources at figuring out cold fusion power. Subsidize the shit out of it and eliminate coal/oil power.

2) Blow up Pyongyang.

3) Force campaign funding transparency and full disclosure. Blow the conspiracies and payoffs wide open.

4) Institute a test for potential voters. Nothiing extensive, but if you cant answer a few basic questions about who you're voting for, you shouldnt be able to. This step and the previous one would fix a multitude of problems.

5) Natalie Portman.

President of the world would be lame. I'd need to at least be a god-emperor.

As dictator of the world, my first act would be to stock my harem. Everything else, exists only for the purpose of maintaining my iron grip on the world.

All vertical video taking will be banned. The punishment will be public crucifixions, horizontally of course.

All cell phones in movie theaters will be banned.

The use of auto-tune or any kind of voice manipulation for singers will be banned.

I would fix the identity theft situation. Again public crucifixion for the offenders.

Deport all Kardashians to Mars.

I'd do probably a couple thousand things, or try.

But the system so bogged down by bullshit you'd have to start getting rid of lobbyists etc to even try to start fixing anything.

I'd implement a straight flat tax of 20% on income, no deductions for individuals, no loss carry forwards for individuals or businesses. Businesses can only deduct expenses they made that year and losses made that year.

Trade zones are set up by 1st world, developing world, and 3rd world. There are import taxes for going up the ladder, but no taxes for going down. Outsourcing jobs down the ladder is what is killing jobs in the 1st world.

Police now wear video cameras on their person when they are working and it gets streamed live. If police are found to be abusing their powers they get the normal sentencing + additional federal jail time.

Politicians now have to disclose who their donors are and which lobby firms visit them.

Education is free for people who score at the top of a standardized test. Then their education is only free if they study a certain field that is needed. Which field they get to study in will be determined by further standardized tests. These children get large stipends paid by the government and they have to score in the top of the test every year to continue the stipend and free education.

Haha, I actually listened to this whole thing! I was watching Starcraft, so I just muted that in the background and turned up this YouTube video. There's nothing to watch on it, so it worked out alright.

I love a good laugh and story as much as everyone else, but one thing about these conspiracy theorists is that their invented stories are all so predictable. You can't pin them on something specific, because they just say that they got their source information from a friend or buddy. Or, another good one is, "Only I know it, but I can't tell you," or, "I'll tell you here in just a moment," because you know they're just making this stuff up as they go along.

I'll admit, I was genuinely curious as to what this man had to say about the 2700's cause I had nothing better to do, and he just went into their predictable Illuminati bullcrap. Oh, that and brings up another thing! Three things you'll always find in every conspiracy theorists story:

1. The Illuminati
2. Some impending, major, catastrophic, world-ending, civilization dooming war about to happen on the horizon.
3. Aliens
