Take a random toddler and put them in charge of the world. No regent, just toddler.

See how it turns out.

It’s pretty easy to tell a toddler things like “all adults are bad and ruining the planet” and banning cars or whatever you can convince them will help.
Reddit probably loves that idea, but it’s also pretty easy to convince toddlers that “all adults are sinners betraying their favorite deity” and having them act accordingly.
Point is, sure kids are innocent and may have unique perspectives but they’d be easily manipulated to the will of whoever is raising or educating them.

This was not meant to be a morality experiment. I just want to see what sort of madness the world descends into and how fast.

Ah, I see. Carry on then. That would indeed be hilarious, probably

Well we're about to run a pilot of this idea in America so I guess watch this space.

Probably best to do it from a safe distance.

Won’t people just make decisions for the toddler instead of the toddler being actually in charge of anything?

Those people will be shipped off to the Liechtenstein Prison Complex.

Happens in monarchies occasionally. Actually works out pretty well.

I did specifically say "no regent".
scampf@reddit
I read that as "no regret"
