If you had the superpower of mind control, how would you use it?

Question

For the greater good? Or solely for your benefit? Would you minionize everybody? Or would you use it sparingly?

I would probably do what I do on here--eavesdrop on other people's conversations (in this case, their mental conversations) and subtly insert my own viewpoint where I see fit. :P

Hmmm.. mind control you say? Well, I would definitely use it to my gain if I felt I needed to.. for example, let's say I get pulled over while driving.. hey! No ticket ;) haha~
But yeah, I'm already a natural people-watcher and observer.. so I'd definitely find myself eavesdropping here and there haha. I might even use it to give people advice on their situations more accurately! I doubt I'd ever use it for anything superbly unfair or negative.. since in a way.. realistically.. it would take the fun out of the diversity in life! Seeing what people naturally think and whatnot. Humans are so interesting!
Well... I might use it on people who have evil intentions to make them see the flaws in their logic and whatnot and change them for the better!

I would use it sparingly. Maybe to get the job i want, or convince people to leave me alone when i get sick of dealing with people. Maybe to win at poker if I'm needing cash or convince a billionaire to finance a business idea.

I'd be afraid to use it "for the greater good" because who am i to say what the greater good is? Maybe convince criminals to turn themselves in or make Hollywood types shut up and just donate money instead of acting like they are experts to be listened to.
I guess i could get Russia and North Korea to stop their aggressive behavior towards the rest of the world. Unfortunately that becomes tricky because you can't predict what the outcome of messing in international politics could lead to.

Id get rid of all weapons in the world: nuclear and otherwise. Obviously id leave guns used for hunting, etc. Id then become God. All religions would be united under one banner as I convince the world that I am the real God. All wars would end, people in remote, resource-scarce parts of the world would move to better areas. Nobody would be allowed to keep more than £1million and all else would be put into a trust which would fund jobs, the building of new homes, hospitals, schools, etc. Id reduce peoples desire to have children to get our population down to about half of what it is.
I could go on. Eventually I wouldn't need to use my powers because the world would be managing itself.

AyushMate · Answer

Well I know everyone will misuse this power. That's for sure 😁
If I had this power, then I would help everyone, if my mood is good.
Or probably I would take all the money of all the billionaires around the world, if my mood is not good.

Nik1hil · Answer

i think first i will try achieving control of my mind because i am continuously in a stage of bombardment of thoughts. sometimes they become so intense, that i end up becoming hyperactive to the stage where, i cannot stop thinking, my heartbeat becomes really fast and i cannot sleep. i suffered this a lot.. my brain went crazy at 11pm and i stayed up until 3am. during many days, while going through puberty..

Groisu · Answer

I'd probably just go to a bank every so often wait in my car for an employee to pass by to give me all of the cash in the bank and then go home and if a cop show up of make him think nothing was out of the ordinary and then just have all the money forever

AlwaysBelieving · Answer

I would use it sparingly. It would only be on a "life or death" type situation. It's actually (the life or death situation) is actually more complex than it sounds).
