Who doesn't do that? The nature of government is force, and in every action there is an expression of belief, so the job of a governmental leader is forcing beliefs on people.

Well, this government would certainly force beliefs on other people, I think parakeet even has some hell gateways for those who would refuse ;)

Mind control is the key for complete order.

Nah, no hell-gateways. Just developing the Space program. Though one of the first missions
will be to explore Cygnus X1... in 2043... :twisted:

Is death a form of mind control? If the mind is dead, it is certainly under control, right?

Oh but I thought you named some of those stargate-like wormholes as hell gateways in which you would transport people to the vaccum of space and to the surface of Jupiter, unprotected.

But, maybe I am wrong, I might be confusing with my own idea of genocide.

Yes, the issue here is, which system could work best, in the case of mind control, the population would lack free-will, anyone who starts developing, would be considered a danger to society, and extermination is considered in such case.

Not really, the thing is that the government hasn't started yet, and I was giving ideas on how this government should be in order for me to support it :P

Although, in a theocracy, it wouldn't be suprising that a lot conspiracy theories taking place, that if there is freedom of speech.

I'm not Jesus Christ, so this wouldn't be a Theocracy. Nor would I care to have it ran like Iran was.


I'd probably want, for economics, some form of socialism for a trial period of time.
As for method of government, revert back to an Athenian democracy with me as "tyrant" for managerial purposes.

So, does anyone else like the seen from Sphere where the ship's log shows transit through
a singularity?
