If one man had to be the judge of all mankind

"If one man had to be the judge of every man"
Who would you pick?
Also do you think it should be a democratic election or do you think other methods should be used?

Depends on the purpose that is supposed to be achieved by this judgement.

Judge Judy.

Thunderdome. Two men enter! One man leaves!

But, seriously, I'll echo quantona and ask: what is the purpose of this judging? What are the rewards and/or punishments? What are they for?

Preferably, a man with absolutely no desire for power, nor interest in placing others below himself.

Democracy would be a certain path to disaster; it certainly could never choose such a person for the post.

And to others in the post: True judgment is not about rewarding or punishing behavior, but about clearly seeing the nature of things.

Good luck finding one. Everyone favors someone or other above/below others AND himself. One who had a bully in grade school, for example, would place that man below himself in superiority or whatever.

I don't think there is a human out there who could do the job.

I think there are plenty.

You haven't met enough people, then. I can name three.

Surely you would regard Christ as such a man?

But, I have known some others whom I would trust with the task, if they were willing and able.

Judge every man for what? A beauty contest?

What is the need for this judgement?
