All I want from a political leader is a realistic plan to defend civilization for the next few centuries. Everything else is rounding error.

I'm assuming AIs will have civilizations that will also need defending in various ways....
-
And you want a politician to plan for that? You're asking for too much, from the wrong people.
-
I don't want our political leader to be a politician. I want them to be an actual 'leader', i.e.g more fore-sighted than their followers.

What would a plan to "defend civ for next few centuries" have looked like if authored by best planner of 1700s?
-
The US Constitution. That's what they were thinking at the Constitutional Convention. Except that they were improving, not defending.
-
Agreed. And it mostly worked, amendments notwithstanding. But was it so clear at the outset that it would work? Or survivorship bias?
-
The Founders were at least _trying_ to think long-term, and felt a duty to future generations to get things as right as they could.
-
Agree w sentiment of your call to foresight, but "centuries" seems unrealistic. 3-5 decades, sure. 300y, nobody can tell which plan is good
