Mind control is the key for complete order.

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

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

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

Yeah, trial periods in governmental policies are rather hard to implement, especially for something on such a large scale.

Tyrant? Boy, that inspires confidence.

A tyrant, as I had learned, was someone who had absolute authority but for the purpose of order.

I knew that was sarcasm.

Tyrants in this case would be able to be booted if necessary.

If that latter were true, then they'd never exist.
