I'm think of starting in Asia, through Africa and the Middle East, then into Europe and the Americas.

Oceania gets a pass? Sweet.

Whatever. I’ll take either Minister of Finance or Palace Chef. I promise I will neither rob the treasury nor poison you. 

I’m Irish, so you know you can trust me.

If you're as intelligent as you think you are, why are you not speaking to people in power/government and convince them to implement your ideas? Or start your own political movement to make changes. Seems like a better use of your time than coming to a random forum and being a grandiose braggart.

Is it that "grandiose braggart" is your best effort?

I guess I have to ask, what if we are part of the problem?  Jerkoff

I'm reminded of the time I saw "The Mensan", which is a magazine published by MENSA for their membership. One of the guys I used to work with took and passed the test. That's how I saw the magazine, as he had left it laying out in his office...of course. One of the issues had a column posing the question, "Do the truly intelligent need to volunteer more for their community?" or something similarly smarmy. Smart, atheist, religious, whatever, it's amusing how people take their "specialness" and ask other people to do something.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
