@richardbenson, if you were the last person on earth, what's the point of being a dictator?

That's the most elaborate plan to commit suicide I have ever heard.
maybe i like the simple life, besides men have been living simply longer than than what weve been doing that last thousand years or so
Th last man on Earth? Hell. even you can figure better than that.
i have a feeling if you were the last man on earth you would argue with yourself constintly, making yourself miserable. am i right?
I am not arguing, I am merely pointing out inconsistencies in your logic so you can correct yourself. I am trying to help.
so im trying to see your logic in all of this aswell, let me get it right. me living alone would result in my death, and you know this for a fact. considering mental illness and autism didnt just spring up yesterday im shure throughout mans history there have been a few sucsessful individuals that actually were isolated and didnt die i could google it but then you wouldnt accept my theory because you know everything. am i right or wrong?

I would also ban cigarettes, except for those that MUST have it, alcohol too, it's really poisonous if you drink it too much.

I am terribly sorry but your concept of how to run the world with force and simpleminded concepts about how society works is appalling in someone your age. It's time you grew up and learned a bit of how society functions.

If I were a dictator, I would make psychology, philosophy, science, math, and history the only mandated courses. Then I'd create specialty courses for people to learn a trade at no cost. This would make everyone employable. I'd make background checks illegal and the get cut down all the lawsuits. I'd try to abolish laws as a way to encourage people to be self reliant and accountable for their own actions. I'd use the media to promote ideas of self-actualization. I'd want to use the media to say that being materialistic is passe. The economy would be much smaller and locally fed by conscious consumers.

The entrance to the school would be located next to the castle, but of course, not everyone in the world would have access to it, as I wouldn't want to control that many countries, just a few ones in Europe, and possibly some in Scandinavia, one of the continents I would turn my back on would be the unhealthy people in Africa, they possess so many poisonous diseases, merely touching them would result in hospitalizing, and because each country has so many individuals, many castles would have to be created, it would have the model of a hotel, with keys to each room, only much easier to get to them, and much larger. The reason why I wouldn't tolerate interracial romance in my castle is because I believe mixing of races messes of the genepool, if we tolerate mixing of races, we may end up in one race, yes, racism will no longer be a problem, but no longer caucasians, africans, asians, and arabians, ergo, no more race-exclusive talents, like african R&B singing, and asian videogame technology, we will collapse if that happens, the world was never meant to be a place were mixed races lived anyway, each race has it's own advantages, so if I were in charge, I would organize an anti-racist society.

I am quite at odds to decide whether to pity you or be totally disgusted with you.

If it is your money, you can already give as much to the poor as you wish. If it is not your money, you are advocating theft.

Is the OP simply trolling or is he a complete and utter idiotic fool, who unfortunately has gained the ability to type his rancid thoughts.
