This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Mind control is objectively better than the others only if you have no morals.
Yet you could also do much more good with mind control powers than the others. You could be the ultimate mediator, force peace through a means other than violence, get massive changes in place to help the environment, etc. The power absolutely has potential for great evil, but a good person could accomplish much.
There’s a wonderful short story about something adjacent to mind control. If you’re a horror fan, it might be enjoyable. “The Things” by Peter Watts (audiobook available)
Amazing hard scfi writer. His novels are great if you like your scifi science based.
