@empiricism story? Thought it was one of those them complicated "thought experiments"?

No, it was the pseudointellectual response of someone who probably just took his first Psychology class (u a first or 2nd year?) Talking like you may hurt my social status (ego), INA purposely condescending fashion. Thats all.

None of the options of the thought experiment bothered me, because the act itself of controlling the entire globes minds is so unethical an evil that it surpasses the problems trying to be fixed in the options laid out. That's all.
