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.
All the world’s population is super diverse. Hard to convince them.
So my strategy is to maximise the Abstain voters, and then it’s only a small group of actual voters that I need to convince for my actual ideas.
I manipulate people into believing that all this voting is something super special and complex and first you need to understand lots of things about the whole world before you will be able to make correct decisons etc. This is going to work because most of the world’s population is rather uneducated, so they would feel quite inferior and always vote Abstain.
I see, you’re going with Operation Eagle Freedom, nice choice.
No idea what that may be. I am just telling my own thoughts.
But then if the actual voters don’t like you you die. The whole thing becomes a lot more volatile.
No different than before.
In my opinion it becomes a lot less volatile, because a smaller & less diverse group is easier to convince.
