Raelians One World Government

I just received this official press release from the Raelians and Rael (their leader)'s call for a "New World Order":

“The only solution to the world’s enormous problems is a world government and a world currency,” Rael said in a recent speech. “There is no other way out.”

He said the only effective solution lies in eliminating national currencies and nation states in favor of a money-less society governed by a World College of Geniuses.

“Refusing to see the necessity of these measures will trigger a world crisis that will kill billions of people through wars and starvation and possibly destroy all of humanity through global nuclear conflict,” Rael warned.

The Raelians believe that the reason we're in the mess we are in is because the people who govern us now are morally bankrupt or inept or both. The solution they propose is called Geniocracy, Government of the People, for the People, by the Geniuses!

In principle a good idea, but can it work with our current mindset? Is this a paradym shift that is possible for the world's population or just more pie in the sky? I don't know the answer to these questions because honestly...I'm no genius...

Government of the People, for the People, by the Geniuses!

Problem with that is there is a fine line between Genius & Insanity. The power given to these geniuses would probably tip the scale to a whole new problem. There always ends up being one person that influences/makes all the decisions, and given politcal history, it's usually the individuals that has self interest as a priority. Someone that has the best interest in mind for the people lacks the ruthless persona that is required to govern in todays society, and therefore would never maintain that position.
