I would control all forms of education, mass media and entertainment as well as popular trends.
Making the populace complacent by instilling a feeling of hopelessness and enmeshing them in a double blind paradoxical mythology with no forseeable
positive outcome makes them all the more ready to consume my factory supplied goods and services to "escape" the horrible "reality" of their
lives.
Never offer anything of spiritual nourishment, never feed the spirit outside of little "feel good" flicks that deal with personal dramas and hype up
stereotypical emotions.
Don't forget to hold vast amounts of stock in pharmacuticals to help compensate for the psychosomatic deterioration of the human psyche en masse.
This is the inevitable outcome of persons with no meaning or inherent value to their existence.
Push an agenda with a spiritual "savior" who will "do all the heavy soul work" for the masses so they can focus on their work and consumption of
goods.
Make sure the internet is freely available to keep political dissidents and intellectuals from congregating together in a real life setting to vent
their frustrations - keeping them isolated from society and out of the way. Hype porn to conpensate for the inevitable breakdown of human
relationships.
Dispense with formal education - advocate home learning and keep all educational materials in a double-blind manner of rhetoric which holds a great
deal of information, facts and figures, but inspires little understanding.
Make sure aforementioned "media figures" are of the finest stock available - once again reinforcing the notion that physical good looks and superior
understanding go hand in hand. This will help discredit any "ugly smart people" from being taken seriously.
Make sure the younger "role models" preach superficial and stereotypical consumer values while never addressing any serious concerns within their
generational target audience.
Cater to the basic drives of the human psyche, but ignore the higher needs - sex sells, and personal fulfillment can be bought at the mall.
Change trends constantly so consumers become accustomed to a rapidly changing landscape, with a minimal appreciation to quality. It's all about
quantity.
Master the art of psychology so those further down the ladder (should I ever come in contact with them) will be so overwhelmed by my perfect physical
form and winning smile and charamiatic way of "understanding them" that they would never suspect that I have designed them to be in the mentalities
and social positions they are in.
Make my way as a psychologist - transcribing all the problems of the people and writing solutions for their woes in the form of screenplays and movies
deals that will ensure I bank ten fold on my investments.
Be considered bright, witty, artistic and "in tune" with the public and make my way to a more hospitable climate of my peers, surrounded by fanfare
and bodyguards before faking my death to retire in some remote corner of the globe and relishing the the life I have made for myself.
Let the next wave of up and comers have their way with the world, because, hey - fair is fair.
