if i ruled the world......(part 1)

If i ruled the world, well lets just say the world would be a very different place.
First i should go over some of the things i'd put as a priority for the whole of mankind if i was in change.
1. Meeting the basic needs of everyone on this planet.
2. Making sure the majority of the population was happy
3. Making sure this was sustainable

Now obviously these all sound like reasonable, expectable answers; if impossible to achieve. However my way of going about things would be much more practical then most peoples.

One of the major problems in today’s society is over population. Our planet cannot sustain the number of people who live on it. Therefore in my world only people who are making a valuable contribution to society would be allowed to survive. No more ‘everyone has the right to live’ crap. If people aren’t able to pull their weight then they shouldn’t be allowed to consume resources that could be put to better use.
I’m sure this sounds harsh, even evil. But I’m just being practical. It sickens me to see people who support themselves off government welfare, using this money to do nothing or buy drugs when people in other parts of the world are left to starve because they don’t have the opportunities to do anything. So in my world people would have until the age of say 25 to show themselves as valuable members of society. Whether this means having a job or studying further, or something completely different I’m not quite sure yet, but an adequate system would be put in place.
The consequences of not meeting this would be (after failed testing and training to try and make them useful) exile from the modern would, it would be made impossible to access any services or goods, to hold a job, to obtain housing. And if the person was thereafter convicted of any crimes they would be executed. However if after a period of exile they wanted to reapply for… citizenship I guess you’d call it, then they could. Of course that’s just a very rough idea of how the system would work, if it came to be I’m sure a lot more thought would be put into it.

Now as a further plan to combat overpopulation I would bring back capital punishment. This would be for crimes that were not necessarily the worse, but were likely to be committed again by the same person and would have a three strike policy for lesser crimes. For example if someone was convicted of murder, showed no remorse and was evaluated as likely to kill again they would be executed. However if it was something like assault or armed robbery they would serve jail time and if they committed the crime twice more, executed. These laws would of course allow for circumstance and such, but this would be the basic idea.
I would also have much harsher rules for drug offences. Drug dealing, for example, would be on the list of three strike crimes. And the possession and use of illicit drugs would lead to jail time or even revocation of citizenship with repeated offences. Illicit drugs are illegal for a reason and need to be removed from the population.

So far this world probably sounds like a bit of a dystopia and in the start it probably would but it’s designed to evolve the world to become a happier, more sustainable one.

Next post will cover ideas for housing, food, water and farming. Which will all be a lot happier lol
