I'm with the wandering Ent ^^^^^

I'd probably put out a bunch of propaganda supporting the advancement of science while developing a common enemy in broad human unpleasantries (like instead of making Sunni Muslims fight Shi'a Muslims I'd make them both fight poverty).

I'd build the identity of mankind not on a nationalistic or patriotic level but on a conceptual level (as in, "We stand for progress," rather than "We are Americans.")

I'd also promote regionalism and attempt to increase the self-reliance of all individuals (in terms of conscious growth). This would be promoted in all the schools. NLP, self-hypnosis techniques, nutrition, herbology and other self-development techniques are taught alongside academic core subjects (which are obviously important). Regional food sufficiency would become a reality in most parts of the world, and where that proves difficult, the large quantities of collective science research would quickly stem that.

I'd also put money into making daily workflow processes more efficient. As in, remove the need of garbage men, sewer cleaners, etc. Put research into automating more and more of our lives.

I'd advertise through all media how having an energy inefficient lawn sucks and how all your neighbors will envy you if you grow a self-sustaining permaculture garden in your lawn instead. Thanks to advertising, eventually, they will. And the lawns of America will transform into lush food gardens that require little maintenance because 1) Everything is automated and 2) You are working with nature.

That's it in a nutshell.
