    Kill off a lot of people. Sorry, the planet is over populated. I would get the population down to about a billion.

      Stopping as many people being born has the same result.

      Eventually.

        It creates an older population though which is difficult to support.

          I would control the population growth in 2 ways:

          First, limit births by requiring people to score 110 or higher on an IQ test before being allowed to procreate. And those that are allowed to have children, offer incentives to have multiple children to compensate slightly for the reduction in overall birthrates, but not by the same degree of course. This will result in future generations having a considerably higher average IQ, faster.

          Second, to stop the ageing population, allow old people to die of natural causes by restricting medications that prolong their life unnaturally (but provide them with pain relief so they don't suffer, I'm not a monster after all.. :P)

          That's a good point and it's what is happening in China right now because of historical policies. Shanghai, for instance, has a very unbalanced population and the old don't get the care they would in the rest of the world. Although some provision is made.

          I'd still much rather have the option to get old, though, than not to have it.

        If every 2 people only had one child it would take a generation to cut the population in half. Then another generation to to cut that in half. Then after another generation you would be down to around a billion. I don't have 3 generations to waste. I can cut it down to a billion in 3.5 years. Roughly depending on how many propane tanks and sawed off shot guns I can stock pile.

      That's a popular misconception; the planet is not overpopulated. If it's resources are utilised properly and sustainably it can easily support over 7 billion people. For example, instead of cutting down the Amazon to make ranch land; stop eating beef and get protein through eggs or quorn which are more efficiently produced.

      There is the saying "Planet Earth has enough for everyone's need, but not for everyone's greed"

    1) Co-ordinate a coherent strategy to battle poverty (yes, that does mean redistribution of wealth).

    2) Co-ordinate a coherent strategy to combat climate change and eliminate oil/coal dependency. Sustainable energy is preferable.

    3) Fund research into sustainable energy and eradicating diseases like cancer.

    I tried to think of other things I could do, but everything else I could do around eliminating war would only postpone the problem or make it worse. I'd be tempted to centralise all power, but that wouldn't work. After all that was done or the wheels set into motion, I'd retire. I wouldn't want to be known either, more just an invisible, shadowy, cat-stroking figure.

    First order of business, open all borders to make emigration and immigration simple.

    Second order, form a council of people to offer advisement to me as I know very little about macroeconomics.

    Third, simplify the tax and legal codes in all countries. I know that most need this desperately. I would suggest a quite high sales tax and that is all.

    Fourth, increase funding for all the sciences, especially the space program.

    Lastly, use the council from the second step to construct the rest of my plan. I can't think right now.

  • bananaface

    I can't see that working out well. I don't know much about politics, and everything I'm about to say is obviously simplified and probably pretty stupid. I mean, ruling one country is bad enough, but all of them? I'm not sure, because some countries are capitalist and others aren't. Would I have to make them all the same? If so, then I'm not too keen on capitalism. I'm not declaring myself the next Stalin or anything like that, but hmm, I don't know which ideology I'd go for.

    Although, I think I'm being too picky about this. Do you just mean how harsh a ruler I'd be? I would make a lot more things legal, although not everything (death penalty would never get legalised, and I'd probably be a bit strict on gun control). And I wouldn't be completely laid back or anything like that, I would be very strict on certain things. Such as advertising and what big businesses get up to. I would probably even force people to take certain things more seriously, such as the environment.

    I dislike the whole class system, and I dislike the idea of "poor people getting poorer and rich people getting richer", etc. I'd like free health care and all that good stuff for everyone! Sort of free stuff, yippeee! I'd like to think I'd put the people first. Of course this is all hypothetical and simplified though, and probably not even possible. My knowledge of politics isn't good, but I know this couldn't work. Not enough money, blah blah, and all the rest of it.

    Although, I once said something that made my friend say that if I were a politician, people would hate me. Apparently some of my views are in the minority. You'd probably all revolt.:'( Sad times. I'd let you all eat cake! Does that help?

    Contrary to popular belief we don't have free market capitalism but a mix of state capitalism and socialism on the local level. I would change that to pure free market capitalism, suppress income tax, corporate tax, capital gains tax and only keep VAT and lower it to 10%.
    The rates have to be harmonised and tax heavens have to cooperate. Scam artists will have nowhere to hide. Administrative language in every country has to be in English. One could freely travel anywhere in the world without restrictions since welfare systems, if at all I keep any, would be the same in all countries which prevents a flood of poor illiterate people abusing certain countries. I would uphold the death penalty for severe crime. Freedom of belief but forbidden to organise religion. Churches, masjids, temples, synagogues etc are torn down or kept as architectural heritage only in certain cases.
