This site is beautiful, obviously. I also love the idea of challenging people to think big, like what they'd do if they ran the world. For me, this question involves ethical considerations, prevention of global conflict, the battle of hunger and poverty and the maximization of happiness. I don't understand how their microactions relate to that question at all. They seem to be asking two questions at the same time. One is a hypothetical mindgame that makes people think about the challenges of the world and one is the very specific question of what each individual can do. As a result the answers they get are apparently either overly general or not relevant at all. If anyone wants to discuss the big question, you can check out a thread I recently opened at HN :)

The idea is that you CAN do what you would do if you ran the world, if you had enough man hours to get you there. A little help here & there, and you can achieve it. All this is possible because you're likely not the only one who wants to do what you want to. The workflow as we have envisioned it is that you answer the question, and we show you similar action platforms and microactions, so that you can get involved right now with the platform you care about. Or, if nothing matches what you have in mind, you can start your own.

oh also, thanks for starting that other thread. the more people think about what our world _could_ be and the complexity of change, the better equipped we are to do something given the opportunity. plus, maybe someone will be inspired to start something on IWRTW ;)
