Not only will you die, but so will your entire family and your pets.

This is so you are incentivised to stay alive.

Rules:

  • You cannot refuse this, refusal is also instant death, along with everyone mentioned above.

  • You have absolute authority over the entire world.

  • Every person has a non-removable brain implant that allows them to vote “Approve”, “Disapprove”, or “Abstain from vote”. These are completely immune to hacking.

  • Every above age 18 can vote.

  • You must maintain 50% + 1 vote of “Approve”, exactly 50% Approve / 50% Disapprove still means death for you. “Abstain” is not a vote means it isn’t counted.

  • The effects don’t apply until at least 50% of the population has voted. If you get more 51% disapproval, you’ll still live as long as theres less than 50% of the votes submitted.

  • If someone dies before voting, their vote automatically becomes “Disapprove” (So you don’t get any ideas of committing genocides)

  • Once a vote is submitted, it stays valid even if the person died. A person could also make their implant automatically change vote if they die. So someone could have their vote be set at “Approve” but becomes “Disapprove” upon death.

    If I have absolute control of the media, this seems ridiculously simple. I’ve no interest in material possessions or the hoarding of wealth, so I’ll implement large scale tax reform designed to reduce our current levels of income inequality, kill oil subsidies in favor of green tech investment, truly universal worldwide healthcare, and mandated percentage worker ownership of companies.

    The problems of our world are manufactured by those currently in power in order to enrich themselves. While it might take a few generations to fix the communities plagued by religious toxicity with widespread access to a good, secular education, I truly believe that limiting the capitalist’s ability to rape and pillage would be enough to maintain widespread popular support. Provided, of course, that those capitalists can’t use their control of the media to discredit and slander me to the point people vote against their own self-interests.
