well, by controlling others, you'd pretty much control the world.
I'd rather not be the leader of a world/nation though.
and I'm not particularly keen on controlling people's thoughs and action.
So I'd probably control the world, then let someone else take command.

Surely if you had the ability to control the brains of others then you can control the brain of the current ruler of the world..thereby becoming the actual ruler of the world yourself.Pwnedall3 said:
Yup, as everyone has said, if you control the minds of others, then you could make yourself ruler of the world. (And not have to worry about pesky rebellions)
No thanks. I think there would be too much responsibility involved in either controlling other people or owning the world for my liking. I picked neither.
I understand where you are coming from, but lets put it this way, even if it doesn't make sense. If you control other people, you can't be ruler of the world. Think of it as not being able to control the brain of the ruler of the world (if there is a ruler).Skarin said:
Well, controlling the world means you are controlling the people.
Unless you mean like, control nature. Because if I could do that, yeah, people would do whatever I say.
"You. Build monuments to my glory."
"But sire, we are so tired..."
"I SHALL CURSE YOU WITH LOCUSTS IF YOU DEFY ME."

Ok, let me try to explain this better. IF you control the world, you can tell people what to do, but they still have there own free will. IF you control their minds, you control EVERYTHING they do. You just can't call yourself ruler of the world or have any of the privliges a world ruler would have.
Theres just a smidge of insanity involved in there too, not to mention the... um... terrible ending. (Hooray! No spoilers)MaxTheReaper said:
In a way the OP is a falacy, the world is its people and the people are the world. While both remain seperate, you cannot choose to rule one or the other, you must address both. If you dont, you fail.
I will not play the OPs game, I am neutral on this matter.
