Introducing: The world's first Hegemon

It is inevitable. One day there will be a world leader. A single person that the entire world looks to for guidance. What will they be like? What power do they have? What are their responsibilities? I have thought about this for a long time and I believe I have found a good idea. What do you think? Should we have one? Will we?

Since I was a child I have always had this instinctive drive to protect, to build, and guide. I've thought many times how great a responsibility it would be to guide the world toward a better future. But where wouod you set the boundaries?

I think the key is to start simple. Follow natural laws. Reduce the negative human impacts upon his home. Im not a tree hugging liberal but I do acknowledge that we humans are ruining our world. And I think its time we give ourselves a facelift.

Our technology is naturally bringing us together to become one unified mind. I think ultimately perhaps millions of years from now we will through the use of technology actually achieve a single mind. But we have to start small.

If I were Hegemon I would bring all of our resources and all of our scientists together to resolve good clean energy. And the technology would be free. It would be ours as humans, not the property of big businesses. Sure they could manufacture the tools but we would make sure it was cheap and easy to attain.

I would assemble a team of linguists and computer scientists to develop, based on the worlds most widely used and easiest words to pronounce, a secondary language for every person to learn. It would be simple and rudimentary.

I would create better conversation efforts around the globe and fight global warming.

I would not bring world peace. My goal would not be to interfere with nations, but to help guide them and offer solutions. I don't believe in stopping two from fighting for something they believe in, because we all have a right to. I would however protect those who are innocent and do not wish to fight.

I would not end world hunger. I believe nature had it right: if you cannot intellectually or physically thrive then you are not capable of continuing in the future. I do believe in helping those nations develop their own way of feeding their people through new technologies and smarter agricultural practices. You have to teach a man to fish, you cannot feed the world; nor is it ethical.

I would fight diseases and improve the overall health of the world by lowering the cost of healthcare and pharmaceuticals. I would urge large food organizations to produce healthy products and lower fattening foods. I wouod fight the idea of insurance and place the responsibility of insuring on to the government. There would be regulations set in place to ensure the countries are giving great healthcare so that everyone can get yearly checkups.

As a Hegemon I would fight crimes against humanity and human trafficking. I would not dictate how each nation should govern themselves weather it be by democracy or communism. I would however facilitate their peoples wants to their government and help them achieve harmony.

I would do all of this for free, while receiving no pay or benefits. Just a warm meal from welcoming homes.

Thank you. But please be careful of the handouts this time, it was a proffered meal of tainted pork that took out Siddhartha.

Very good stuff INDEED!!

But watch out though as there are a handful of folks on these forums who would label folks with GOOD HEARTS and GOOD INTENTIONS of being a "commie" or a "socialist" or a "Tree-hugging Liberal" and other asinine titles that good folks always get ridiculed with by them.

That handful of folks are a SAD bunch so ignore them.

Great post though!

Sorry about the typo. Conversation should be conservation. Thanks auto complete.

If people were to choose an individual to rule all of man, I would think that the best thing would be an individual that would not let human kind act in human ways.

It is well known that when societies fail is is because the people voted not to be taxed anymore and have the treasury distribute the wealth to the people. After that, collapse happens.

In other words. We need someone who will keep us in a perpetual state of semi-suffering to get us through the times.

I would be quick to make sure that the Hegemon is not a ruler, but a leader. Someone with almost no power but they have the ears of all mankind. The proposals of the Hegemon would be embraced willfully by the world and not necessarilly by force.

Additionally the Hegemon I imagine would have nothing to do with wealth and its distribution because each nation must know the benefits of hard work.

Ya ni znayou shtoh ti gavareesh?!

Welcome, welcome, comrade...

It's a beautiful vision, and I admit I share a lot of similarities, to the degree I'm going to school and hope to one day bring clean energy to the world.

I too have been labeled several times on this site for stating what many would view is communist, or socialist. I'm okay with it though, I believe in community and society ha ha.

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors, and it's always good to hear there really are others out there who would be willing to work together towards the solution. Unfortunately not everyone is willing to participate, and too many have unreasonable opinions on our views. For instance those that will call you a communist, and act like you're the spawn of Satan.

A little bold introducing yourself as such though.
