Scenario 1:

Step 1: Develop incredibly precise methods of genetic engineering
Step 2: Genetically engineer incredibly infectious self-replicating airborne pathogen with 100% mortality rate
Step 3: Release pathogen in Madagascar and administer antidote to yourself
Step 4: Rule over the earth until you die of accident or natural causes, witnessing the end of human life and possibly all known intelligent life in the universe

As an alternative, replace the section of the pathogen causing death with something more benign, such as reversible sterilization. You now own the only method of allowing access to reproduction for the human race, and can sell the antidote to the highest bidder. You're now the most powerful person in the world, provided you keep anyone else from cracking your antidote formula.

Honestly though, ruling the world seems like too much effort.

Scenario 2:

Step 1: Go to Mars (or other habitable extraterrestrial planetary body)
Step 2: Declare yourself ruler of the planet
Step 3: Rule the world

Provided you have the means of survival, this seems like a far more enjoyable scenario. Get away from the idiots and start with a blank slate. Optionally, bring along sufficient hand selected population to begin sustainable reproduction.

I like the mars thing. IIRC, we could, theoretically, regrow the entire human population from a very small startnig group.

ALthough, the Alpha Centauri thing might be possible. We are trying to figure out how to cryogeically freeze people, after all.

1) Hack into all major radio and tv stations around the globe
2) Broadcast Justin Bieber songs all day long
3) Promise to stop if everyone acknowledges your absolute rule

1. All charts are dominated by Justin Bieber songs, all fall into the regime of Bieber backed currency

Only the resistance play other music and rebel against the world order, they call them the underground

You've probably never heard of them

I'm interested to know. It's the first step in destroying it.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Encapsulate seed mixtures in balls of clay/soil.

Spread seed balls everywhere.

Fruits and vegetables growing everywhere mean people don't have to rely on grocery stores to get all of their food.

Mix graphite with cannabis and clay to make graphene silly puddy, use it for everything including electronics and water filtration.

... Oh wait, we're talking about taking over the world...

Uh, drugs? IDK, you're crazy for thinking reincorporating humanity into a dictatorship would help anything besides the death rate.

Don't mean dictator ship. We would have the entire forum to organize the world!

Step 1 to taking over the world is genetically engineering all plants to be poisonous

I'm not sure how that helps you take over but it doesn't hurt

*sigh* We're taking over the world, not destroying it. That comes next. First, we need everyone to be under our murderous, phsychotic thumbs.
