Time is an interesting thing. A seemingly unstoppable force. Completely intangible, yet totally in control of human life.
It would seem then, if one were to think about it, that control of time would result in control of human life. That one could fundamentally change the world using nothing more than time.
The destiny of nations, the course of nature, morals, values, the way in which the masses view ideas, systems of government, control over resources, all of this and more could be manipulated with the use of weaponized time.
While harnessing time may seem impossible, understanding it and using that knowledge to one’s advantage is very much possible.
So how does one control time?
Tinfoil Hat Time. Time, time, time, is on their side, yes it is!
Short answer, it depends. Whether or not time is malleable on an individual level is a topic for another time and place (side note: it is). For the purpose of adhering to a ‘broader’ audience we will stick with ‘realistic’ methods.
The OG method of time control is as classic as they come, declare time to be time and start recording it, tracking it, marking it down, and telling everyone else what it is. This is essentially the binary code of time control. The foundation. In an instant you become the Sun. You become god-like. No longer do the rays of Sol dictate the course of a human day as mother Earth dances around the giver of light, no, it is now you.
With a calendar things get even better. The role of the Moon, in her beautiful cycles, working in harmony with mother Earth to lovingly guide the sense of everything from seasons to reproduction, is now handled by you. The stars, those twinkling revolving patterns that kept score of mothers’ rotation around the Sun for millenia, now relinquish their power to you.
Being the new ruler of days and seasons you can now bend masses to your will using time in the most basic of material ways. Wars can start in favorable months to guarantee better outcomes. Castles and monuments can be demanded from slaves on a schedule more in line with your wishes. Taxation in the form of coin or grain can now be marked late and usury charged accordingly.
At this point it is important to keep in mind that it is not actual time that you control. You have simply constructed a new facade around time, one that allows you to control the perception of time. It is the only way to control what one can not. Perception is always the name of the game, especially when it comes to immaterial forces such as time. Some other examples would include fear, anger, and hate.
The real power comes after your system becomes commonplace on every level over a long period of time. Taught from birth, accepted as truth, and regarded as the meter by which all action should be based. Twenty four hours a day. Seven days a week. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year.
It also does not necessarily matter if your system is voluntarily accepted, or forced upon peoples and cultures with war and bloodshed. Control over perception will erase all opposition, it is only a matter of time.
The people, being conditioned to think in very short bursts of time as they are, will automatically be at a disadvantage, this part is essential. Season to season, paycheck to paycheck, billing period to billing period, tax return to tax return, election to election, holiday to holiday, layer a few options to ensure results. Again, the details do not matter, so long as the masses organically and subconsciously form for themselves the habit of thinking small when it comes to time. Set ‘long term’ parameters that ensure you are the one defining ‘long term’. Questions such as “Where do you see yourself in five years?” should result in either confusion, or pride in a sense of being an individual who plans ‘long term’.
Having an understanding of time, and being fully aware of how the masses do not, the ground work is complete and it is now time to use time to your advantage.
There is no end to the things you can accomplish with time on your side. Selling music to children for fourty years that advocates drug use and peddling as the only way of life for minorities, shouting ‘F the police’ in song and encouraging criminal behavior, then blaming it on an entire race and system of government? Totally doable. Labelling a plant used all over the Earth as dangerous, then waiting for the inevitable truth to come out and seizing the moment to turn what was once free into your private cash cow? No sweat. Completely defiling a document that clearly limits government, after decades of slowly bending the system further and further toward centralized tyranny? You betcha’.
The only problem you may face is finding a spot on this rock where all of this has not already been done.
Good luck with that.
