Everyone should have a list of 200.
That's the purpose of choosing that many - more than enough to make a point.
If too few, how many would it take before your (non-selfish) directives gain traction?
I would hope that everyone's list would change the world for the better.
Which people would you replace with yourself and/or what agenda would you push upon them?
The gothic, dystopian version would be to "handle" them
if they don't toe the line. It would send a powerful message if people got whacked
like that. The successor would be wary and avoid repeating the same mistakes...wouldn't they,
at risk of life?
Even Ghandi would approve (probably not the whacking but the concept). He took to
stick so don't confuse pacifism with
helplessness. Sometimes violence is a necessary catalyst. As much as the person
on that list is human, the concessions and admissions
they make publicly may be the most powerful message.
Look at the other possibility: Which 200 would you put on the good
list, and what additional things would they promote?
Does this list consist of social media influencers or famous people (actors, athletes, assholes)
who spew falsities and useless words? Maybe you're a bit more mentally and spiritually advanced
and would include people who actually matter in the world
and make a difference.
Which people have the most influence over humanity, the environment, etc?
How many people would be on one person's good list
and another person's evil list? With how polarized the world is becoming
people like Trump, Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Xi Jinping
would be ubiquitous no matter whose list.
Unfortunately, we live in a skewed world that fails to act on the threats
we create for ourselves and the planet. We act as though we've given up
and maybe it's best as we are too late to make any changes
for our immediate future and that of the next half dozen or more generations.
At least according to the most optimistic scientists. Why "suffer" to help our
descendants when we can party it out now and live life to the fullest.
Wait, isn't that what caused all this in the first place?
