Okay, so you're a Mad Scientist/Warlord/Grand Wizard/International Playboy/NBA Superstar/Ex-Janitor who just got an Amazing Trust Fund.
You have UNLIMITED funds at your disposal. Don't worry about where it came from. But you can spare no expense on your project.
Your master goal: Reboot the world.
But how?
Now, let's assume a few things.:
So post your Master Plan.:
Fill out this form as completely and legibly as possible, so the International Magistrate of Antagonism and Dissolution of Overpopulation for Utopian Change and Human Evolution (IMADOUCHE) can process your request and award the right party their backing.
---> How I'd Do It: Your method of "cleansing" the world of its "Unnecessary Waste". Be as specific as possible. Name strains or pathogens, where applicable.
---> How I'd Get Ready to Do It: Your preparations, what you'd need, how you'd store it, contingency plans, etc.
---> Who I'd Bring Into It: Your ideal people to follow you into the new utopia you're creating. How many would there be? Consider your resources you undoubtedly prepared in the last question. Also remember that, while people may love their great uncles or cousins, inbreeding causes inadequate evolutionary progress. Also it's gross.
---> How We'd Survive It: Your cleansing-safety program. How will you while away the time during the reboot-process and ensure a lack of mortality among your chosen brethren?
---> What I'd Do After It: How would said Utopia be established? Where? What form of governing body/police force/workforce/bodyforcing would you create? How would you get people to do anything you wanted, now that your unlimited dollars/euros/pounds/pesos/bolivars have become worthless? How would you unclog the streets of the bodies of the ... "Unnecessary waste"?
---> The Future After It (and, Me!): How would you ensure future generations will keep your magnificent ideals, and not just plunge headfirst into a thousand-year dark age while worshipping the image of the Noid some guy found on a long-discarded pizza box?

Your master goal: Reboot the world.
But how?
Now, let's assume a few things.:
- This isn't a kamikaze mission! The means to an end with your goal must provide that you and, let's say, 100-1000 people of your choice, survive (in relative comfort -- you're sparing no expense, and these are some cool people you have in your new society posse). There has to be an aftermath gameplan.
- When restarting society at nearly zero, no one's going to be around to manage the Wal-Mart or keep the Master Internet Flipswitch on! You're gonna have to prepare for the lack of goods & services!
- Worldwide nuclear winter may last for many lifetimes. You're an impatient Mad Whatever and you rather enjoy breathing air and the smell of dandelions. The destruction of your choice should kill 99.99999% of the world's humans, but you should not have to wait in your Fortress of Safeitude to start sniffing flowers for more than 0-5 years.
- Magical realism is partially allowed. Scientists are capable of doing most halfway-plausible-sounding things. They can't do something silly like make a nuclear device that targets only humans, but they can probably do some cool things with diseases or magnets or radiation or genetics or T-viruses or clarinets.
- The End of Days you reap can't be religious in nature. Converting the rest of the world to Christianity so Jesus takes them with him during the Rapture is a clever idea, but sadly, won't fly here . Besides, Pat Robertson's been trying all his life and has only succeeded in wasting middle-American donation money to berate Venezuelan presidents or ladies who like voting.
