Q: Is Phelps smart? If so, they should make him the King. If not him, who then?
B/c, ffs, someone needs to steer this ship.
The world looks like it's real messed up. What do you think?
On the plane I watched 'Kingsmen' and a line in it has made me think. Something about the virus and the source and who should be the winner (0300/0445 over the South Chine Sea and the flight being full of Chinese ppl I'm naturally the only one awake and that's got nothing to do with the time of day) and the chicken and the egg or such.
Maybe we do need to hit the re-start button.
But before that happens how bout let's give Phelpsy a shot at running things?
A good bit of discipline never hurt anyone did it?
What's really wrong with getting up at 4 in the morning anyway?
If not Michael Phelps, who?
Brian?
# Eff me....difficult to find a category for this one.
Yes, the world needs a reset, but actually accomplishing that would be rather problematic.
How would you fairly determine who gets to survive? Would you collect all of the survivors into one location, or leave them where they already are? How do you create and distribute something that exterminated such a large portion of the population? If it's a virus, how can you make sure that it won't mutate/jump species? What about the ecological implications of suddenly having so many abandoned nuclear power plants?
Lots of things to consider.

Why not just annihilate everything? Then those questions are no longer relevant :p
Spiderboenz:
If destroying everything is the objective, then why bother doing anything at all? Humanity is doing a fine job of that already; given enough time we WILL exterminate everything, rendering the planet unable to sustain life. The whole point of a reset would be to drastically reduce the damage caused by modern man by eliminating a significant percentage of the population. If someone could find a way to reduce the population to only a few million, then the earth would have time to start healing. Nature could reclaim what we have taken.

The problem with that reset scenario is that we're likely to repeat the same mistakes! The significant differences between those that will make the world better and those that won't are not biological...
This is the logical fallacy called 'appeal to (inappropriate) authority". Phelps won 20 gold medals, so he should be a good leader of the world.
I can't name an individual, but I would suggest someone well educated in history, politics, psychology and economic theory - with emphasis on the first! Being multi-lingual, and having spent time in those countries would be an advantage.
Fear not, the Great Deluge will wipe out most humanity (again) on January 7, 2031.
