Thread: WOrld Wide DOmination!

Heres an idea for you...what if someone had the ability to beam any thought, image, smell, sound,video, or experience into the minds of the whole planet? Psychotronic technology hints that this might be possible in the near future. But if you had this technology what would you do? There are all kinds of cool things you could do. Would you use brainwashing technologies to create a beautiful Utopian planet, or would you wreak havoc and catastrophy to create a dystopian world? Would you spread pure love and peace throughout the world and engineer peace on planet earth? With this power you would have more marketing saturation than all internet, television, radio, movies, videogames, and publishing on planet earth. What would you do if you could beam any media into the critical mass population of the whole planet? Create world wide TV shows? Market a massive empire to the whole planet? Would you become a religious leader and start your own religion? Would you start a religion around your WorldCORP and have everybody devoutly following and buying your religious products? Since everything around us is perception, and you had the ability to condition perception with potent techniques for years and years on end, how would you metamorph the perception of the world. Make everybody think black is white? Create new colors? Create a graphical optical overlay system that associates different images and colors to different concepts, knowledge, or corporate branding? Another thing you might want to do is start your own logos language. Teach the whole world anything. Would you turn the whole world into zombies that were mindlessly droning the same zen mantras over and over? YOu could also maybe create social games and spread them virally or maybe even games that people interact with in their heads. If you could spread any indoctrination or propaganda you wanted would you try to exert force on and play your hand at politics? Would you want everybody to do something crazy like worship the Power Rangers? WOuld you try to leverage your societal influence to play the stock market and either destroy or aggressively promote certain stocks in peoples minds? WOuld you make every one think they looked like animals and worship animal spirits and transmit psychadellic spiritual trips into the hive mind? End racsim? Create the mind armageddon where everyone undergoes a ClockWorkOrange experience with the most abrasive and potently deplorable experiences destroy the minds of the planet maybe? Or use this potent traumatic power to condition the world in a positive, lif affirming way? Would you create the new age Kingdom Come and be a messiah of the new age? Make everybody believe you were Jesus? Would you want to legalize drugs? Also what if with this power you also could see the future of anything on the planet through Montauk technology? You could forsee politics, economy, environmental disasters, technological advancement, etc... This is just a fun idea I came up with that may be more than just an idea in the future. How would you use this power and what cool things would you dominate the planet with this power?

Well, the first thing I would do is start to wonder who else might have a similar ability, because, you know, that person might not be as nice as I am.

Also, the availability of the information is always at best secondary to the ability of the processor to process it all and make some use of it. Subliminal messages are great and all, but they're not always completely on-target with their results. I see it being more of a fun thing rather than "I have this ability, now how will I use it to re-form the world?"

And the last thing I was thinking of when I read this was that there might be a whole lot of people (like me, for instance) who might get kind of upset at any sort of control imposed on them. Like in "The Matrix," I think somebody would figure things out sooner or later and then that person and his or her subsequent followers would be hella pissed.

Enforced Utopia is not really Utopia, and I'm nowhere near sadistic (or ambitious) enough to want to control "everybody."

The capitalist would want to use this to influence everyone to buy his/her product(s).
The religious zealot would want to use to get everyone to believe in his/her faith.
The political wonk would want to use to influence how people voted.
I don't think people on the side of "good" would want to enforce anything on everyone, so you are left with people who think they know better how you should live your life than you do. After all, if you force people to be your definition of "good" you have taken away free will.

Being the *not so well off* person I am now.. money money money! I would really want to be smart about this. Move slow. Think it through for a while (more than a few months if possible). I would do whatever I needed to do to make enough money to live comfortably and support myself for the rest of my life. Once that was accomplished, I would probably start working on humanitarian efforts. haha
