Mine would just be an effort to roll back the holocene extinction as much as can be done, which includes environmental reconstruction, resurrection of extinct species, and careful reintegration of collapsed ecosystems. That and rebuilding the six grandfathers over top of mt rushmore.

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

i would order all the garbage to be pilled up at the border ,... Garbage Hoxha Mountain Range..

Every shitter gets a biogas generator and we stop extracting natural (petrochemical) gas but use the existing pipelines for renewable sewer gas power

Giant solar shield in orbit so that i dont have to see the sun

Convert all standard mathematics from base 10 to base 12

big train

Night trains from everywhere to everywhere would be neat. Including neat sleeping cabins so that the population of the world can migrate by climate phases and joy.

But since I played openttd make it river canals and ships that are trolley boats.

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.

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

I guess mine would be the decolonization of language. Supporting native indigenous languages until they are brought back from the brink of extinction until they completely replace Anglo.

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.

Create an artificial language with no exceptions to its rules, then teach it in every school in the world, so that the whole humanity spoke one language.

Also ban smoking

I'm too media obsessed for me to fantasize about things that aren't using the position to mandate certain pieces of media be made. Which is kinda dumb so dont put me in power.

Global grid of computers for collective use. Like a public cloud. The primary purpose of this would be for economic planning (and voting on priorities for the plan) but also for any other purpose (research, providing services, data storage and distribution, etc).

boooooorrrrring

gladiator games are back for good

a massive cloning facility for bees

Alantropa? The TNO brains are leaking.

My thing would be to give people previously unhoused or disconnected to connect with one another to make villages just large enough to be self-sustaining. And they could do specific tasks or research that personally appeals to them with or without credentials/gatekeeping as far as education in our current systems.

I mean like communes I guess, but more goal focused - like a village of agriculture enthusiasts who want to grow and use local plants and resources to sustain themselves and track success. Or a village of people who want to repurpose old hangars to develop aviation technology or something physics related.

Honestly I just want to group together enthusiasts and see what they can make or discover when there's no worry about rent, no paywalls, and no profit incentives.

I think I'd like to live in a village somewhere isolated and low tech that focuses on spending large spans of time on personal projects and sharing them in a group setting like once a month. An introvert's paradise. I think there are cool things we can learn and create when given different safe environments. I know that people would really gravitate towards what motivates them when they have their needs met and given the opportunity to explore.

I'd also like the idea of education in general being freely available with certification only necessary in relation to human safety (medicine, nuclear physics, etc.).

I would build a giant space station that's basically entirely solar panels with some kind of magnetic dust shield that would be permanently in sunlight, then it would beam electricity down to earth or something.

Thinking of actual crank projects. Mine is probably nuclear powered ships. Decarbonize the oceans!

I'm so into it that I made a video about it

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.

My crank project isn't even a crank project: bringing back a great freight rail network with carload service (dropping off boxcars directly next to factories) would be immensely beneficial for cutting emissions. Night trains, bringing up the system to a state of good repair, increased speeds, increased frequency, I'm basically just adding on to your already great plan.

I'd try to make the education, society, and culture in such a way to try and make almost everybody gay or bisexual to see how much nurture affects sexuality

A circular underground tunnel for bikes. Cyclists have little umbrellas that they open up when they enter the tube and everyone rides clockwise. There are mudflaps at the entrance and exits.

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?

Sponge Cities!

i would build everything that would give my granddaughter a better life

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.

Duodecimal system baby, fuck this non divisible by 3 system.

We counting on our phalanges now.

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 guess I would go huge in on wetlands revitalization in order to have more cute frogs to look at. I would also hire a team of experts to come up with justifications as to why our society required me having a real life Gundam.

I would be like Hoxha but build earthships everywhere instead of bunkers.
