    Intellect is a tool.  A very necessary tool but it is useless without integrity, character, right conduct, love and the ability to recognize one's duty to treat all men equally.

    It is one thing to solve all the words problems. Quite easy actually. The problems come when you try to get people to implement your solutions. "I never threw a plastic bag into the ocean. Why should I have to work cleaning it up", "Global warming is a hoax", "There is lots of oil under the seafloor, just let us drill where we want" ... etc.

    They would need unlimited resources and absolute cooperation from others.

  • no. they would be assassinated.

    it would take a near-miracle, and then things would be put back out of order in very short order.
