I would definitely start by sending every NATO leader, every NATO military person, and every unrepentant former NATO military person into the Sun.

Making the mother of all power vacuums Jack, can't fret over each billionaire!

Get a little area where I would actually want to live.

Carve out mountains to channel water to more areas, basically accelerate what Egypt is doing to spread the green lush from the Nile River.

Make ideal spots for some cities, get a lot of gold out of the ground to prepare to buy the land

Pour all the foundations of the buildings, build lines of rails for public transit and trains. Make sewer system and areas to transport water

Just make it super easier for people to come and build/live there, and if I own it all I can avoid big corporations coming and pushing out growing businesses

Probably watch a bunch of tv shows and fall asleep, if it lands on a weekend.

I'm already going to a kid amusement park tomorrow, so I guess I would just be the coolest dad there.

You know that one scene in season 1 of invincible where Omni man is on that alien planet? Basically that.

Figure out if I’d be more haunted by my actions as a temporary world superpower, and watching the status quo return very quickly afterward, or more haunted by all the things I could have done and didn’t. Sit pondering that for 48 hours.

I have some rewrites I'd like to make to the US constitution.

Wipe the DC legislature off the map. Excepting aoc of course

Probably do some miracles on national tv and populated areas, then create a new book club. Create sanctuaries for book study groups. Assign leaders across the world from those who protect the people.

This time the book is written using formal logic so it’s impossible to misunderstand and pick and choose what you want to follow. It only provides a logic framework of being kind and empathetic to others, respecting their rights(and what rights are), and consent, etc. This time the book will be timeless with no contradictions.

Then kindly “convince” a couple of billionaires and world leaders to donate 99.9% of their wealth to the new cause. 48 hours are too short to change the world for good. But you can kickstart a brilliant process towards a great future.

Bang Lois Lane and order some pizza afterwards, obviously.

I'd sleep the two days, nobody would mess with me.

First I would get myself paid. Then I would drop a big rock on DC and credit reporting companies. Probably take out a bunch of healthcare insurance companies. Spend a few hours looking up companies responsible for the most pollution/human rights violations and remove them. Drop a big rock on the Kremlin and CCCP headquarters, probably North Korea too. Lots of big rocks dropped from really high.

I would grab Ceres and ram it into the Earth.

I'll finish my house, clear out the old tree debris, and complete all the physical work I've planned for years to come.
