Women deserve to rule the world.

I think the problem lies in the spiritually-empty, faithless, nihilistic objectivity of our modern era, where materialism pervades. People are giving up on the idea that there is an absolute pinnacle ot morality in the objective sense. So the solution to the problem is more philosophical or metaphysical than one might assume.
Religion doesn't solve it either, some of the greediest people of all time were religious. Through religion you can justify a lack of compassion for the planet's future because you might think that this life doesn't really matter, this planet will be destroyed by god, you are just helping fulfill biblical prophecy and bring us closer to the endtimes etc. Also the bible for example has verses like Romans 13, which tell people to leave rulers alone and not hold them accountable for their actions, as they are all appointed by God, and doing God's work! But let's leave religion out of this. The PROBLEM is that dozens of Evil people are in charge, and they are mostly hidden from the eyes of the public majority, who has no clue what is going on. The masses don't even know who to fight, who to attack. we are all just miserable and angry together with no clear enemy. (this is what is best for the evil people behind the "curtains.") And if you call it a conspiracy, well yes, you are right, it most certainly is. "a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful"
Male / Female is hardly a division around which one might begin to organize a futuristic society. Unless you are reading too many superhero comic books, a al WonderWoman and Marvel Comics.
But some chessnuts actually think that way, don't they? Then they shift the discussion to religion and evil people ??
Give it a rest, please.
To 47:
Evil people are in charge because evil people put them there and support a crooked system. Crookedness supports crookedness. The followers are just as evil as their leaders. Let’s stop this blaming game on one group or another. The followers are all too happy to avoid looking at the greediness inside them, and instead prefer to elect some leaders and then point the fingers: at those leaders and away from themselves.

The problem is real and we are running out of time. You can’t give it a rest, either.

Or because philosophy is just a bunch of abstractions, with no practical value. Same with religions of the past. They have nothing to offer, except mental crutches.

If the discussion is too difficult for you to handle emotionally, then you don't have to participate. Free discussions move around quite often, it is their nature.
There are things that need to be discussed, and proposing women in charge in the title is provocative and probably offends a few people, which is why I used it. I am sorry for offending you 
Now please if you feel like contributing in a way that forwards the discussion towards further analysis/evaluation of problems and/or their solutions then by all means, join in.

Indeed, feel free to enjoy your comic book, trolling.
You'll be a better man for it, as well ??
wow OP I am SO impressed with your sensitivity and open-mindedness; you are on the cutting edge; geez, you've really given us all some important things to think about

I will have to agree with you. But achieving a world free of tyrant control will involve radical change. Radical change usually can only come from the organization of lot of strong-willed and courageous people. How are us unorganized ants able to take down the advanced space ship?

Thank you for posting half a dozen times while literally contributing nothing but a distraction from the goals of this thread. Keep it up and I will have you blocked from this thread ( I really don't like resorting to this option but act like a child and you will get treated like one) You are quoting me from a thread on how to use the tactics trainer in this entirely separate thread that is designed to tackle the problems of corruption in global power. I find it nearly impossible to believe anyone with a Ph.D in ANYTHING (especially economics) would value their time so low as to waste it trolling people in threads they have no genuine interest in.

You're right. In Germany we have Angela Merkel and Germany still exists so I can't be that bad. But I wouldn't say that gender matter that much if you're the right person for the job.

Men are filled with testosterone and therefore impulsive violence and aggression. As weapons become more and more powerful, it seems having women in charge is probably a MUST to avoid extinction. Perhaps it was good for us in the past to have men in charge, but as I said, weapons continue to grow exponentially in power and it only takes 1 impulsive decision by a chain of half a dozen men to wipe out millions of people instantly.. It's very scary. OR perhaps the men who ARE in charge must have testosterone-inhibiting injections. Women are the compassionate life force, the mothers, the voice of reason and love, the balance to our impulsive violent tendencies.
Calling me sexist just means you don't want to admit what I said was right. I'm either a mysoginistic man or im an oppressed woman? This shows your inability to evaluate opinions that differ from yours. I'm not sexist in anyway. I'm not a man, but I understand what mens role in the past was as well as womens. Women were oppressed in the past yes, everyone knows that, but at the same time, the only reason you live in a society that flourishes now is because of mens hard work.
Btw your entire argument in this thread is to make women in charge just because they haven't had a shot at it yet. You haven't given 1 good example on how women would be better leaders than men. yes we get it there are outliers of women who are great at leading, the OUTLIERS don't make up for the vast majority.
You apparently haven't read the entire thread. It is about how to solve corruption in global power. Women in charge was a provocative title to get the discussion rolling. Sorry you were baited, get over it. Contribute to the discussion on how to solve global corruption in power or remove yourself from the discussion.
Corruption in power, this is the focus of this discussion. Putting only women in charge is a provocative suggestion, that will probably offend quite a few people. You can disagree with it all you want, but if you fail to provide a better solution to the problem of corruption in power then you are not helping the progress of the discussion. I'm glad that you are here and that the conversation is rolling though
