    Save the snap. Use it as leverage to shape the future by threatening tyrants into standing down, for I have no idea what might happen absent of a historical event happening.

    Now. Who to start with? Bibi? Putin? MBS? Closer to home?

      You do realize they’re going to ask you for a demonstration of your power before they’ll ever kowtow

          Right. If it’s not a proven power (as though aliens or a god gave you this power in view of everyone), then you can simply come to these dictators and warn them not to test your power. Similar to Pascal’s Wager, they would be wise to consider. Though you may be bluffing, of course. Then you use it. Then since nobody else knows you can’t repeat it, one public demonstration would be enough to convince future tyrants.
