Who Would You Vote for as President of the World?posted by Charlotte Meyer at 8h43 GMT on Oct 12
In our efforts to pump up the President of the world elections, we have e-mailed all the people that are nominated and we have gotten letters back from Barack Obama and Nelson Mandela's representatives, saying thank you. In the last two days we have also spend a bit of time e-mailing people around the world - fanclubs, hateclubs, messageboards and forums. Informing them about our election. Now all we have to do is sit back and wait for the vote.

President of the World
I'd vote for Jimmy Carter. He didn't have such a good record as President of the United States, but since that time he has been living and learning. He's obviously a very compassionate man. As far as I have ever heard, he is truly honest and moral, and yet not prone to judgements. He has begun to speak out recently, after years of quiet retirement. He has observed elections and can praise the good while still highlighting the need for improvements.
But do we really want a President of hte World, or a King of the World? In USA democracy, a President is balanced by a Senate and House, and a Supreme Court. How do we organize, and who fills, THOSE positions?
A president of heart
I would wote for Nelson Mandela, because he stands for me as a very currageous and patient and tolerant person. He was a president of heart and he has inspired so many people all over the world to solve any kind of situation with non-violence and patience.
But as other people has thougt of and already written. Should there even be a president of the world? That is actually a question that we discuss in the "European world". Should The European Union have full control in all the matters in all of the European countries or not?
Well I dont think so, but I think we should have a superior agreement about all matters the European countries between.
(What a luxury problem we have here in Europe)
One last thing!
Let education, information and hard work be the step forward to a human world, that leaves a little space for everyone who lives here on earth.
My peace be in your hearts!
If you aim for the stars…
Why isn’t Artificial Intelligence (AI) nominated in the election? In my perspective AI could bring some balance into expectations and requirements of a world president. If a single butterfly can create a storm on the other side of the globe, then how can one person possibly predict all the consequences and outcomes of the choices he or she is going to make?
AI should be able to find the best solution on both short and long-term issues, although we haven’t quite reached the stage for a prototype - yet. Give bio-tech some years and I’m sure we’ll see interesting suggestions as to how AI could assist us in governing the world in ways that exceed nowadays use of technology. (Transhumanism could be a source of inspiration in the meantime)
…Just a thought for the night
All the best,
