How to Control the World

Control The WorldDepictions of the end of the world frequently portray a one-world government that takes control of the world. Control is often obtained through empty promises made to “world citizens” during times of distress. In this article, I will attempt to outline a way in which a world government may come to be and how it might eventually control the human race.

For the purpose of this article, I define a successfully “controlled” human race to have the following characteristics:

  • -A single entity defining social norms
  • -Limited free will with no sense of self-conscious
  • -Perfect order and harmony in societal relations
  • -Little instances of rebellion from orthodoxy

Disclaimer: The ideas presented below, if enacted, are radical and dangerous. They do not reflect my personal beliefs and I do not endorse these ideas by any means. This article was written to demonstrate the susceptibility of the human race, and how we may be exploited in the future. I give credit to the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley for many of these ideas.

16 Year Old CEOs, What Has The World Come To?

Teenage CEOHi. My name is Brandon Paton and I am 17 years old. I am the CEO and President of stealth mode startup College Credential, Inc. I have founded four successful internet startups (one of which was acquired), and currently serve on the board of advisors of a rapidly growing startup. And don’t forget I’m only 17. Sound impressive? Too bad, because most of what I just told you is not true.

In reality, I am not a CEO and have never been one. College Credential is not incorporated, and it is barely in stealth mode. I’ve really only founded one other website that was mildly successful (sold for $10k), and even that struggles to be called a startup. My other three “startups” never made me money (but definitely taught me a lot).

It’s funny how the truth can be manipulated. It happens pretty often when it comes to teenage entrepreneurs. They call themselves CEOs of their unincorporated companies. They announce a strategic partnership with a “company” their friend owns. They say their company was acquired, when it was really only purchased from someone on SitePoint for a few thousand dollars.
