Hypnotized the leaders and president of each countries? Force them to create a better world? Should I use my power and control the billionaires to donate their moneys to the poor? ..... ??

What would you do?
Try if I could mind control myself to stop over thinking things and stressing myself for little things.

(lol)

If I have a mind control ability, Is would... most likely use it on situations where life is in danger like a hostage taking, robbery, etc. I would never use it for my own gain because that would be boring. But, if I find something worthy or interesting to manipulate, that would be wonderful :)

I would clearly do as I wished in whatever way I wanted. I would try not to be evil but let's be honest, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" as the saying goes. I don't imagine I would be the worst person, but I doubt I would be the best either.

Probably be lazy about it and mostly just ensure that my current way of life continues. Might use it to stop people at work from being unreasonable though.

Their are three paths
-World Domination Path
-Hentai Protag Path
-Normal Path
Might as well take the three paths
Pretty sure no ones taking the normal path. Believe it or not....I honestly hadn't considered any of these paths. I wasn't even thinking anything. Now though....you guys have corrupted me. Muahahaha!!!! It has begun!!!

Well, what are the boundaries on this mind control? Can I tell what a person is thinking and change their thoughts? Tweak the neurons in their brain? Does this power have a limited range, duration, or number of targets? Does it require active thought, or can control be maintained and directed unconsciously?

If we go with "no limitations on any of the above" then I'm basically God, so there are a few key areas I'd focus on, all related to min-maxing human civilization like it's a 4X game.

First things first, given how the mind and memories work in general, I would seem to be in a wholly unique position to eliminate some neurological maladies like PTSD and depression, so I'd do that worldwide right off the bat. I can also adjust the priorities of leaders and oligarchs away from amassing more and more wealth and power and towards using what they already have to advance humanity as a whole. Much of the immense wealth and resources being poured into militaries and needless bureaucracy can also be directed instead into reversing climate change and solving similar global or systemic problems.

That brings me to the second area of focus. If I can manipulate people's thoughts and memories, it stands to reason I can also transfer one person's memories and expertise to someone else. If I can do this at scale, everyone in the world can have a single common language and basic mathematics imprinted into them. Communities in the fields of science and engineering will utilize the new universal language and improved funding to greatly accelerate experimentation and collaboration while improving the effectiveness of peer validation and replication of results.

I can also pool the knowledge and insights of experts in various fields, compiling and multiplying human understanding of the universe into the brightest minds wherever I find them. In a pseudo-hivemind fashion, I can also make it possible for people to directly push memories to another person if they want to, though I'm the one actually carrying out the task. This would allow people to truly understand one another, as memories contain not just experienced events but emotions. Anyway, I'd basically be a System for all human knowledge and experiences (if Systems ever took executive action to achieve a certain result).

My personal life would probably just be me trying to keep up with this absolute madness I got myself into, otherwise living like a hermit normal person as much as possible. Maybe I'd write books, maybe I'd be a streamer. I'd definitely maintain a garden. The end goal would be a post-scarcity utopian human hivemind society achieved through technology and genetic engineering that doesn't need my ludicrous superpower to keep it going. I think that would be a hell of a legacy.

By the way, to anyone in the thread jumping immediately to mind-controlling people into fucking you... morally, that makes you no different from Rapist Brock Turner. Keep that in mind.

I would fix the world like world hunger,corrupted politicians,homeless people,and other things like that,then I would search peoples memories to see if they like me and if they do I would ask them out on a date because I have to admit I am pretty lonely.

If it was infinite mind control powers.

I wanted to know how the world works without religion,

Or

The world with just one big country.

Or maybe just make one religion with me as a god.
