lol that's because when you added the time-constraint and the "giant vs tiny people" idea I wasn't sure about whether or not that was a scenario that could only exist in a sci-fi hypothetical or if it could relate to a real world scenario on Earth. I doubt that it can relate to a real world scenario but I also don't 100% discount it either. I definently enjoy your creativity in coming up with crazy scenarios.
I can and do. The problem is that the people who have less wherewithal to actually argue their points tend to resort to either sabotaging the conversation, or outright violence. It's why you have people like @Saucexorzski advocting for synagogues being shot up because he's unable to refute any of my points.
Yeah, I think it would warp my way of thinking and in the end consume me
You points have been lies, your proof has been lies. I repeat i am not your slave Zython, i will not go out and murder folks you claim are evil under the logic that if i dont i want you dead for your religious beliefs. I have never argued for nor have i endorsed the killing of any human based on religious reasons.

See, @PC2? This is the kind of shit I have to deal with when I try to reason with certain people. How do you expect me, or anyone, to be able to spread my values to people like this?
Your point was that all pro 2A folks should go to religious houses of worship armed to the teeth and kill anyone you claimed was evil. Mine was, that you are welcome to do so yourself. To which you have claimed:
There is nothing to discuss with you that hold value at this point.
so again i reiterate Zython. I am not your slave. I will not murder folks for you.

I don't think so. I wouldn't have any interest in an alien civilization of tiny people. If we're talking about ruling the world, I would have some unpopular policies, but not anything created out of malice. I'm generally a big softy, but I don't have any tolerance for cruelty so that's where any authoritarian tendencies would emerge.

Some might call it corruption, I would call it bringing justice. Id flick that guy who tried to murder someone off the planet in the OPs scenario. I'm big enough to see it happen.
No i would not be
I'd go with this as well. At best I curb my worst impulses but I know that there is a well of darkness within me that only needs resources and opportunity to flourish.
That being said could I use power and resources for other peoples benefit? More than likely, however there would be those that would not benefit from my exercise of power.
To the first group I would be good and to the latter group I would be evil.
Who is right?
The Right isn't universally bad. The Left isn't universally good. The Left isn't universally bad. The Right isn't universally good. Legal doesn't equal moral. Moral doesn't equal legal. Illegal doesn't equal immoral. Immoral doesn't equal illegal.
Have a nice day.
Has there ever been a person in history that was not corrupted, not even a little bit, by having power?
I'd probably be worse than hitler. With absolute power I'd force humanity on to my essential "golden path" ala Dune. And force them to proceed. Starting with eliminating all world governments (ie making 1 government for the world as opposed to the 800 or so we currently have) and making a single language the spoken one worldwide.
We will be a type 2 civilization if it killed me Regardless of how many bodies it took to get there
