    If the Earth would be ruled by just one person, which Random Thinker would be the best president (or dictator)?

    Well you know the old saying "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

    So no one person to rule earth :(

    i would nominate myself, but ruling the world would be too much responsibility. i would become drunk with power and everything would fall into ruin.

    We are speaking hypothetically here.
    So please play along.

    Excellent choice, but I think they would not be able to carry such a weight on their shoulders.

    That is not what I want to hear. I want an honest answer and not an answer just to feed my ego.

    what would a one person rueling all of earth actualy DO?
    i mean the whole concept of higherarchy is pretty meaningless other then as a pain in the ass.

    infrastructure takes a degree of social organization, and some of the things that depend on it. there's a lot of things we wouldn't have without at least some group effort. but beyond that, there really is no other point.

    we keep each other from starving and freezing and beating each other over the head, that's why we came togather in the first place. but anything beyond that is a burden on everyone that serves none.

    i'm actually meaning that not as a moral judgement but as a question of logic. although i do see this as maybe one of those points were the two converge.

    now perhapse a world representative to some sort of galactic council, or perhaps a representating from that council TO this one, or from/of one of the other members of it, those things i can very much see, although i'm not sure what we actually did with everyone getting along the way most of them most of the time do, especially when it's really not very practical not to.

    yes, i'm too ignorant to understand that.

    and what will we be doing with these names? putting them on a no-fly list perhapse?

    yes i'm in a creatively grumpy mood that i don't see as making any less sense.

    I feel nobody can run the would better than myself. Given the opportunity, I know I would do everything in my power to move this and every country forward, and make those decisions decisively. I would remind people that peace can be reality if they only accept just that!!!!

    I will not say I am currently equipped, but if thats the direction I wanted to take with my life, I know I would define what a leader should be.

    The ruler of the world would have to be somewhat similar to the president of the US... although "ruler" implies more unquestioned decision making.

    I would be the best human to rule the world because I understand that even as ruler of the world, I am no better than the guy that flips burgers. We are all as important to society as any other individual... because at the end of the day, the people hold the true power... not one person.
