The real problem with all these TV villains trying to take over the world is that their so damned short sighted. I mean, its possible. If you’re enough of a financial bad ass with the political clout to get in the right position you could have a shot. I’m talking Koch brothers money, with a dash of middle eastern sultan thrown in. Still, what does it mean to take over the world?
The way I see it, taking over the world is about centralizing control of global commerce and business through one source. But the world is predicated on a giant Am-way like system where countries like America are on top, living on the lack of resources of others. Now if you’re the big boss, it means all of this negativity generated by the have nots in response to the haves is your fault. Taking over the world means taking on a suite of additional problems you wouldn’t need to think about otherwise. You’re better off taking over a iHop. At least the problems there are balanced out by a hungry and ever present army customers.
