All I'm saying is; the last several guys who attempted world domination... it didn't work out so good for them, you know?

All I'm saying is; the last several guys who attempted world domination... it didn't work out so good for them, you know? Those pansies all gave up, either surrendering or taking the easy way out. I shall be different. For one I won't make the foolish mistake of genocide. I'll instead target all the intelligent people and either break them or get rid of them. |

I can see a few holes in your plan, son. |

Out of fear that someone will learn and rise up against you? How do you correct this problem? Simple Get rid of books. Or at least ones that promote intelligent ideals |

Or at least ones that promote intelligent ideals No, you don't get rid of books entirely. You manipulate books so that they support your ideals. You limit the education system. You make sure to enforce the caste system. You get rid of technological improvements on peoples lives, and make sure that they stay busy so that they do not have time to conspire. Finally, limit the language. |

That failed miserably in Fahrenheit 451 It also failed for Hitler in the end. Anyhow, like I said, don't get rid of the books, manipulate them. 1984 is the better guide to world domination. |

Although I'm sure Orwell knew no one could implement what he had in mind plausibly |

Can't tell you, but I can tell you what the book's about in a very very general sense. It's about the corruption the technology brings the world. |

Although I'm sure Orwell knew no one could implement what he had in mind plausibly He supported socialism, and in fact showed support for it in 1984, but then said how the idea had been ruined by those who sought too much power. Of course he didn't really think of the lack of motivation... |

1984 doesn't really describe world domination. It describes how to control the world once you've already taken over.
... and Brave New World is the unquestionable king of "how to set up a self-perpetuating control scheme."

It was actually about how TVs would end up ruining the world. Orwell was in very strong opposition of TVs. He also wrote about their evilness in 1984. If you want to be more general you're sort of right, but that's not really what Orwell was saying. |

There was actually a lot more to do with the corruption the technology (and future in general) within that book besides television. But yes, that was in the most general sense I could think of. |
