    Maybe if I had a few years to reorganise myself, and that’s a big maybe. I’ve never much cared for money, power, and I’m empathetic to a fault, but being in different environments causes people to change.

    The biggest challenge would be staying in touch with the population. You would need a good team of people that represent the interests of human existence and happiness. At that point it’s sounding closer to a democracy anyway.

    From there, there’s obvious moves. Find the biggest sources of misery and damage, reform or just straight up tear it out and start again. You’d need to move moderately slow, moving quickly destabilizes people too much and that is often not worth the cost. Raise social safety nets, try to turn the system from working to survive into one where working to get nice shit.

    I feel like I might bankrupt whichever system I’m put in charge of though. Economics was never my strong suit, and I probably would start ignoring economic realities in favour of human existence.
