Well I would be having my way with your soldiers then PEAKINT

1/ you mention nothing about an economic model to support your thesis.

2/ it's not just about how many children, but who is having them & in what circumstances. There is no scientific justification for restricting male breeding, babies per womb gives a mathematically same result whilst allowing competition among males for womb access. Do away with that altogether & we are in an even worse position genetically than now.

3/ who defines 'convicted criminal' absolute bullshit. Anyone who knows anything about justice systems knows they are often anything but & in an Authoritarian State they are ALWAYS ABUSED.

4/ 65? What about 28? Surely the wisdom of ages is one of the most digitally replaceable human traits/ requirements? Who needs grown ups when there's Wikipedia?

(BTW you forgot to round up & slaughter all the disabled, & marginally intelligent, then what to put the tools of slaughter & repression to next)

Nope, you are an a%%hat & I would happily go to war against your monster state.

Judging by the reactions I get around this place if I were King of the World the first thing I would have to do is create a massive police force or face a revolution in a short term period of my rule.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tikib', 'T')he optimum strategy at this point is:

Start sulphurization flights immediately.
Start rationing oil immediately.
Start building fission-fusion plants immediately(http://www.yottawatts.net).

Develop and implement methods of burning off clathrate deposits without releasing the methane.
Develop and implement Pure fusion plants like Steinhaus's mini-mike.
Develop and implement Heat resistant GM crops.
Develop and implement carbon fixing wind turbines.

Like I said, you are the one with a proven inability to perceive the difference between banter & foulmouthed insult.

Last time you had the nerve to spell out your agenda, from recall, I declared war on your army too. Also from recall your subsequent hissy fit got you a 2 week ban.

Funny thing with you autistic totalitarian Idolators, you don't ever want to consider the likelihood of rebellion against your dream state.
There are a lot of people like me, genetically thoroughly predisposed to fighting, who currently live under a do no harm philosophy. Live & let live. But f&#k with me & mine & I will devote my life to not letting you, to fighting you, with joy & passion. When you have your little quorums, how many fighters have you?

Gee that is intimidating logic from a king of the world! Seriously you are the number one self appointed wanna be dictator since ReverseEngineer left 5 years ago. His ideas were wild, but they were threatening to the status quo in a far more real way than your ideas, because they were saleable.

If I was king of the world
I would implement a standardization police so that only ISO threads would exist ,
anyone using any other standard would be skinned alive ,
their wife , kids , parents to be thrown to the wild beasts ,
their neighborhood declared unclean and burned off the face of the Earth
while boy scouts would dance on the ashes
the resident thereof branded in the face with the fateful mark NS ( not standard )

Afterward I would retire to the adoration of all engineers ,
attended by a bevy of scantily clad giggling pubescent beauties , feeding me grapes

I wrote this 3 or 4 time and it always comes out as forced collapse, induced coma to save the patient, LoL

--
I would increase wellhead, mine-gate, stumpage, commodity-farm-gate and whatever other raw resource tax astronomically.

Just to make sure things crashed localized, I'd implement a tariff on transportation of just about everything. Some basic commodities would be exempt for a while as ag and industry re-localized. That of course is the goal, relocalize, get small and resilient. Rather than one global economy, a myriad of small economies, so very little global transport and very much a local and regional economy.

People could go wherever they liked, but they would probably be taking the scenic route on foot. I'd encourage localities to come up with their own forms of government but I'd bomb the hell out of them if they started squabbling.

Then, if I was still around, I would really be feeling my power, so:

I'd end conglomerates and transnational corps (if the above doesn't kill them) and maybe even corps altogether and make the biggest "entity" general partnerships. Don't need anything too big because markets won't be very big, limited by transport as they are.

I'd close the pinstripe casinos and end all trading by anyone other than commercial participants in commodities. Since there would be no corporate persons, there would be no stock markets as such, but perhaps there would be a "market" for partnerships. Of course in a partnership each partner is liable for the actions of the company so not much appeal there for the passive investor — which of course it the point, make owners responsible.

I probably wouldn't have to end the big banks but after the dust settled and they hadn't all failed, I'd finish it. For the most part borrowing would be passé at any rate and with the end of speculation and corporation so would the commissions. So really there would not be much for them to do except man the safe.

I'd make one universal currency, (call 'em PopTarts because they are forever) and back them with gold because the point would be deflating the economy and that's what a unmovable currency is good at.

Other smaller things would be encouraging folks to pack in just as tightly as possible into the cities, penalize for kids rather than reward for them, and limit the workweek to some small number to spread what work there was left around. No welfare but you could work for me to keep from starving.

So in the end (when they lynched me) all the frameworks of private property ownership would still be in place, and markets would have started to localize around dense cities—and dense cities make for fewer kids. FF and the remaining raw materials would still be available for the most important uses (whatever that might be — torching me probably one) and certainly local recycling and production would be booming.
