World Domination

[pathetically-lovely]

I wasn't sure where this thread should go, so if it's in the wrong place, don't hesitate (which I'm fairly sure you won't) to tell me so.

Have you ever casually mentioned or seriously contemplated world domination?

If so, have u ever thought of ways to achieve it? Any personality types that could be good allies?

(Personally, I think INTJ's and ENTP's are good allies, although I have an ENTP friend, and she sometimes finds difficulties in keeping her mouth shut. INTJ's can be scarily determined, too.)

Too late for you. I already secretly dominate the world

Too late for you. I already secretly dominate the world

I'm a member of the Illuminati as well.

 

[Yozuki]

Being an ESTP, I am allied to no one. That said, I have already taken over several forums. At my disposal I have -

A catboy named Watashi
A pants stealing cannon
A rapid sock cannon

Upon stealing 100 pants, Yozuki has the force of a pants tornado, aka Pants Pants Revolution.

Ph34r with great ph34r!

Better luck next time, then.

My friend, Jonas, had a goal to dominate the world through a union of nations. Initially, he instigated a war that was impossible for any side to be the victor. All of the forces were weakened and succumbing to the fatigue of war; desperately awaiting an outcome for the pain of the people to subside.

The main phase of his plan was subsequently implemented, and he rose as the leader of a worn country. He spoke of an alliance which would cease all war - enabling everyone to recover from the hardship. This man would be the one to unite all nations and achieve world domination through final peace.

i wouldnt want control over everyone in the world...
just the women

Yeah WD plans are very common here, we just can't decide which one is best; also there's the fact that we are mostly lazy and/or apathetic.

Also anyone with the intellectual capacity to accomplish something like this is likely to have already realised that effort/reward ratio just isn't worthwhile.

 

[Mars]

exactly, what cognisant concluded to. too much to do to pull the whole plan off, unless we start an organisation to do it in about 200 years, maybe.

world domination through peace would be a sham, give me a genocidal maniac with an army of like minded individuals and we'll make you a world capable of being dominated. Otherwise it just is not going to be a single dominion throughout the whole world, it would be more like a democracy if achieved any other way.

Hey, it said world domination. history is full of template procedures for such endeavors, sad thing is that all of them failed because the people in charge were unwilling to take a single step. That step usually requires a complete disregard for life and always ends in tears.

 

[Inappropriate Behavior]

This premise supposes that the world is worth dominating. Not so sure about that.

But playing along, I think it would be more interesting to achieve than it would be to maintain. Now if we mean dominate by destroying it, that's a different matter. That would be kinda fun too.

 

[hopefulmonster]

I have a plan for world domination..for the greater good of course *ahem*. My INTJ friend does as well although ours differs slightly. Mine ends with me being the "adviser" to a series of puppet presidents whereas my INTJ friend just wants to be king for life.

My other plan involves me becoming a rogue billionaire who builds a series of mass drivers disguised as satellites and then drop tungsten rods on cities until people realize lines on a map are foolish and a world gov't makes far more sense. I'll start with any city that is say 40% or so "urban sprawl". Lack of city planning is so irksome.

 

[Artifice Orisit]

This is why only 1% of the population consists of INTPs.

1) Steal underpants.
2) ???
3) World domination.

 

[Mars]

Dominate/conquer, very similar to me.

Innapropriate Behaviour - I agree that it is not really worth endeavouring to achieve. After all, the goal would be so hyped up that it would be an anti climax once achieved.

Which I believe would lead to ever increasing displays of excess to vindicate means required to obbtain said position, which to me seems completely self destructive. No contest and thus no challenge in life is no life by my books, Although it is essential to linger in the serene places.

Before my brain tells me that maintaining such a command would be a challenge it is not the one I would like, too tedious. I'd get too complacent and attached to the position, unable to adapt and maintain flexibility. Warmongering warlord would suffice me for my days.

But, on another tangent. world domination by dominating the world. The only way that I would endeavour to acheive that end is through money. Honestly that stuff can buy you just about anything IF and it's a biggie, that's if it's capabilities are not abused.

scratch that, i'm going with this guy

1) Steal underpants.
2) ???
3) World domination.

When ppl asked me what I wanted to be in the 4th grade, I said a dictator. All my classmates freaked out, I just seemed to be such a nice little angel. Looking back on it, I don't remember if I was joking or not. Probably not. Then they all started arguing over who would be my co-dictator. Good times, good times. One of my friends told me recently she would never forget it.

 

[Jordan~]

I didn't just say I was going to be a dictator, I made myself king. Then I got fed up and abdicated to my heir. Ah, to be 5 again...

 

[Anling]

But playing along, I think it would be more interesting to achieve than it would be to maintain.

I can see this being a great game. Have a blast taking over the world. Then announce that you will let them have it back so you can come play again later after they've built something to take over. No running the world, just repeatedly taking it over.

Maybe I should learn how to play Risk or something.

 

[echoplex]

I think we know better than to think we'll ever dominate anything.

 

[Mars]

Ah, but to dream. There lies the seeds of grand schemes.

But at least it seems we all understand that we would have no idea what to do with whatever we might end up dominating.

Just an irrelevant question, would anybody have any idea what MBTI Hannibal would fall under? the one that defeated Rome and then walked away.

Finally, the fabled world domination thread i've been hearing about.

I won't mind allying myself with one of you, although if it's anything like George Orwell's "Animal Farm" the partnership will be equally shared on the surface, but secretly I'll plot to overthow you...But what are the odds of that hapening

Eh? World Domination?

I actually submitted my plan for world domination to my history teacher as an assignment. The assignment was to submit a basic economic plan that would get our nation back on track. I wrote a normal paper, then decided to also write out my plan for world domination. I got a 100.

As and INTJ, however, I must say that I think we (INTJs) are more likely to take over the world than the INTPs. A while back there was a thread about what type would be the best criminal. Between the INTP and INTJ, the INTJ came out as the best criminal because while the INTPs and INTJs have equal potential in regards to criminal schemes, the INTJ would go through with it and execute the plan to perfection, making adaptations as needed.

I think these same reasons, along with others, can also apply to world domination. While INTPs have the potential to take over the world, they lack the drive. An INTP would also be ill suited for running their newly conquered world.

I have a plan for world domination..for the greater good of course *ahem*. My INTJ friend does as well although ours differs slightly. Mine ends with me being the "adviser" to a series of puppet presidents whereas my INTJ friend just wants to be king for life.

This sums up pretty well the difference. An INTP sees world domination as an interesting pursuit. One which will be amusing and engage them for a while. After the world is taken over, however, the INTP just wants to sit in the background and let other people run things day to day while still maintaining some influence.

The INTJ wants to rule the world. For life. Mostly because we're sure that we are the only ones who would do it right.

I didn't just say I was going to be a dictator, I made myself king. Then I got fed up and abdicated to my heir. Ah, to be 5 again...

Before my brain tells me that maintaining such a command would be a challenge it is not the one I would like, too tedious. I'd get too complacent and attached to the position, unable to adapt and maintain flexibility. Warmongering warlord would suffice me for my days.

INTPs are process oriented. They'd be happy as a warmongering warlord, ravaging the countryside and fighting wars with no real objective in mind. An INTP could conquer the world, yes, but they couldn't maintain it. I personally don't think that ruling the world would be tedious, I would probably enjoy it more than the actually conquering of the world. But hey, I'm an INTJ.

But at least it seems we all understand that we would have no idea what to do with whatever we might end up dominating.

Case in point.

I honestly think that INTPs are very well suited for conquering the world, they just need to bring in an INTJ to maintain it once done.

I propose a plan: INTPs and INTJs all go conquer the world together. When we're done, the INTJs all give their P counterparts a slinky and tell them to run off and play. Then the INTJs keep the world together under an iron fist.

You mean like the classic Dr Frankenstein & Igor

Dr Frankenstein = INTP
Came up with the concept of creating life from death, through means that were never really understood. A real Mad Scientist.

Igor = INTJ
The one who built everything and actually understood how most of it worked, although he could never understand how Dr Frankenstein made it work. A Practical Scientist.

Eh. Not exactly. I mean more like the INTP and INTJ build a car together to go on a long road trip, then the INTJ drives while the INTP sits in back and watches a movie or whatever they want to do.

I think that, overall, the INTJ is better suited than the INTP for world domination in general. However, I also know that INTJs have weaknesses and blind spots. INTPs are often good choices to catch these things. The same with reversed roles. That's why I think that we should work together to conquer the world.

Once it's conquered, the INTPs can go not rule it and do whatever it is they want to do, with the resources of a world dictator at their disposal. While they're off having fun, the INTJ can settle into the role of world dictator and actually rule the world. Meanwhile, the INTP can pop in whenever they want and give their opinion and such.

I think maintaining control of the world would be next to impossible. There would always be some kind of prick ESTJ type that would arrange an uprising and you'd be screwed. Just look at every action/adventure film ever made. Hell, look at Star Wars. It could be a fun game -- you taking over the world and they trying to stop you -- so long as they don't throw you down a reactor core.

 

[Ghost1986]

i have a plan but it would take decades maybe even generations and it would be a major pain in the ass. if i had better social skills, or was a sociopath, i would do it!
