Two words: Climate Stalin.

The entire economy will be mobilized to solving the climate crisis, to the point where even finding a job will be a total non-issue. The pigs that are polluting nature to death will pay for all this with every penny they got, they have stolen more value than they can ever stuff down their throats. Oil oligarchs and media talking heads will all be tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity. Many useless treats are going to be banned, and yes, we're coming for your Funko Pops, white boy.

One very important detail and job would be hiring a bunch of artists, architects, designers, etc. I want to ensure that my regime looks aesthetic yet villainous, so whether or not I fail as Climate Stalin, 13 year old boys in the future will look to me and not Prince Nick Fuentes II as the badass supervillain to idolize, and eventually support. Also, the people deserve a much more beautiful world than the one I had to endure.

Oh wait, idiots like Nick Fuentes would be seen as scum because I did a cultural revolution where I beat in that delinquency isn't cool.

Bike freeways, playgrounds for adults, free/open gyms, and municipal go kart tracks with competitive leagues

Arcologies. Entire cities built into single, massive complexes.

The Culture.

In addition to massive expansion of the north and south American rail systems my megaproject would be a rail link across the Bering Strait to connect AfroEurasia to North and South America. My dream is being able to travel from Cape Horn to Cape Town almost entirely by rail

The iranrood of course. But with fresh water. This involves removing an unimaginable amount of salt from the salt flats in the iranian plateau. So i gess we will turn that salt into plastic?

All golfers must continue to golf, they may not leave the course, they may not stop golfing...

While they're occupied, we finally achieve faster than light interstellar travel. After we all take to the stars, whatever golfers remain shall inherit what is left of the earth.

Write into law that there is only one type of Christianity allowed. Every five years the knights of columbus and the freemasons select their top guys for a gladiator fight. If the Knights win then catholicism is the official religion for 5 years, if the masons win it's protestantism.

Try to make local and sustainable industrial productivity with solar metal casting and distributed network of CNC machines.

Alantropa? The TNO brains are leaking.

So many agroecological community gardens, so many communal kitchens, bread ovens, and collective food system infrastructure. All food is now grown in agroforestry systems where the farms are also biodiverse refuges for fauna and flora. I would be the single-minded food dude, like but for mindful food production.

Also, everyone learns (from other people) to forage local herbs and mushrooms.

BAN MULTI LEVEL MARKETING SCHEMES. moon base. ban homeschooling and private schools. no churches over 1000 people allowed. orphanages are the equivalent of the best European style boarding schools one could ask for and any teen can go there. make spanking illegal and send any kid that wants to go to the fancy boarding school. a childrens bill of rights.

Maglev network featuring a 100 mile long vactrain built into a mountain range that yeets a rocket into space (and eventually a space station that can refuel/launch the vac trains to a lunar station. That is correct, you will be able to take a train from Mumbai to the moon.)

After I've done the full maglev rail network, the tallest structure on Earth. And then a slide coming off the top floor.

Bringing streetcars and trams back to as many roads as logistically possible

Virtual drug test dummies. I would commission huge banks of supercomputers to simulate the human body for rapid drug tests and general research, and dump money on quantum computing. Idk if this counts as a crank project but it would definitely be immense.

i would make every US state square shaped, including hawaii but excepting the then independent republics of florida and alaska

We’re bringing back Roman bath houses and including spots to nap in public there in case you have like an hour and a half gap between things you have to do but it’s too far to go home. Really just more public space investment

LSD micro-dosing the entire population.

I guess it depends on the scale of regime I'd have. Once all the normal stuff happens and people have housing, good jobs, transit, food, healthcare, literacy, half the earth rewilded, and everything else, I'd go buckwild.

We're gonna set up Mars for terraforming. Put a big fuckoff magnet at L1, and put a particle accelerator on Phobos to create a torus of plasma along its orbit, do 'em both, we need a backup because this shit has to last a billion years. Smack it with some ammonia-rich asteroids, shotgun the surface with extremophile lichens and bacteria, build some ecopoiesis domes. Just let it go wild. Not a colonization attempt, just create a trickle of progress and let it slowly improve over time and go wild til we're actually ready to do something with it.

We're going to learn everything we can and we'll save all of our knowledge. We will learn everything we can, uncover old mysteries, and explore. The only limiting factor for sciences should be people-hours. And we're going to make backups. Off-site ones too, maybe even off-world. We should never forget anything ever again.

We're going to preserve languages and learn a universal second language. Teach everyone Esperanto or something, but make sure that people's native languages are preserved and retained. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis may be bullshit, but I think there's a lot of cultural value in preserving languages. It'd be great for everyone to be able to communicate together, but it's important that we're not losing things along the way to that goal.

Plattenbau construction megaproject. Socialism, gray, big blocks and no suburb freedom? Yes, we'll build more.

End natural predation.
