I try to make everyone adopt the duodecimal system so that we can divide shit by three without ending up with 3.3333333333. Everyone is so aggravated by my bullshit pedantry about numbers that I never pass any other reforms, the second of which was going to be to introduce IPA as the standard script for every language.

If I wanted to make the world worse? Nuclear weapons would be pretty quick.

Buuut why would I want to make the world worse? I'd want the world to be nice for me and other people and creatures.

Or do you mean, even if I act with good intentions, what sort of catastrophic errors am I most likely to make?

If that's the question, then fascists would probably throw tantrums in response to my aggressively progressive initiatives and I'd get assassinated.
