Theory of Domination and Control


Chapter 1. Introduction
Domination and control a scientific theory? I suppose what set me thinking seriously about this was a movie I watched. About the Aztecs, or Incas (I switched to the movie somewhat late and am not sure which group it was about) of South America. On the walls of the Aztec pyramids, as I understood this, were scenes of what they used to do. The movie was based on these scences. They would send out a team of hunters to bring in human slaves. Some to be sold, but the men to be sacrificed to their Sun God. A cruel ritual. The victim would be held down on top of the pyramid and their heart cut out while they were still alive, the heart then exhibited to the watchers, and the victim's head then cut off and it rolled down the steps of the pyramid. Then another victim brought to the slaughtering slab. Then a solar eclipse took place. After this, even though there were still four or so victims to be sacrificed, the ritual was stopped. The rationale being that their Sun God had shown a sign that adequate blood sacrifices had been made.

Okay, but a puzzle arises. Men who have tasted a "blood thrill" of watching people tormented alive by their heart being cut out are unlikely to stop just because an omen took place. Thus I sought another explanation - and came up with the theory of control and domination. Clearly, I am guessing but it seems to me the "high priests" of the Aztecs knew enough astronomy to know a solar eclipse would take place. Thus the sacrifices were staged so the priests could convince the people they do have a Sun God who shows his might by hiding the Sun in the middle of the day. A "blood thrill" is an adrenalin rush into the primeval lymbic system in the brain - examples that causes a "blood thrill" include what a police officer experiences by arresting a person.

It is not just this example. Consider torture devices. Are they not part of an elaborate science of domination and control? Consider hand cuffs police use. The same principle? The name of the game is domination and control - the exact methods and rationale can be invented and rationalized in elaborate ways. Thus the modern name for domination and control can be said to be "law" or even "holy law".

Behavioural scientists attempt to predict and anticipate the behaviour of individuals. Psychiatrists also do this, their models and methods perhaps different. Salesman do this. One excellent salesman whom I had a chance to work for, for a short time, had this theory that if you understand what a person fears to loose, and what they hope to gain, they you have a sale on your hand every time. Clearly a formula that worked for that particular salesman.

However, perhaps we are better off if we define a scientific theory of domination and control from the beginning. This might aid us in understanding the nature of evolution as expounded in our Science of Life series.

The importance of our theory is this: not every aspects of human behaviour which is to do with domination and control can be explained as a "blood thrill". The serial murderer, at least my impression from true crime stories, is rarely after the blood thrill itself but after "control and domination" over a part of their psyche which is damaged. In our Science of Life, those who want to be soldiers and police and lawyers are considered as "animal humans". The outward appearance of the animal-human is no different to the human; neither is their intelligence; what differs is the state of mind and how the brain has adapted to "reality". Some such types are after "control and domination" more so than wealth and their main motivation is a "blood thrill". But there are exceptions. Not all who become magistrates, judges, lawyers, soldiers, or police, fit neatly into the label of "animal human". The reason for this is that some people desire "control and domination" and go about this in a rather scientific way, not a primitive way. It is likely it is possible that psychiatrists could in fact predict, based on childhood experiences, what type of person will become a soldier, a police officer, a lawyer, judge, or magistrate. It has to do with understanding their inner need for control and domination. The human brain may not be able on its own, without external actions, control and dominate the primitive and primeval areas of the brain namely the limbic system and its instinct. If the brain fails to do this, it may compel a person to become a soldier, police officer, judge, lawyer, or similar.

What about a prime example of domination and control, the NAZI death camps. The guards at these camps were forbidden to have sex with the victims. This does not make sense. Young men brainwashed into believing in the Third Reich, absolutely brutal and savage, and yet can resist attractive young women brought to these camps. In these situations, in which the victims could do nothing, raping such young women would be the most logical and rational thing a primitive human would do. Or would having sex with the victims, before they are gassed, be contrary to the science of control and domination?

Clearly, to control and dominate a person or a group, a certain "emotional" detachment needs to be in place. If you truly like someone, you are limited in your ability to know how to control and dominate that person.

In the modern world control and domination is a science already - consider any government. Each needs an army. How do you interest young men in joining an army when the consequences of this are possible death or mutilation during fighting? You need to build shrines and monuments to the dead soldiers of the past, you need to set aside a time of national morning, you need to develop notions of glory and honour and immortality perhaps.

What is an army for? To fight invasions? How rare is that in the past 50 years? The wars that break out are for political reasons - control and domination reasons, not self-defense reasons. Consider the Americans in Vietnam or Korea, or Iraq, or any number of situations in the past 50 years.

If we had a proper scientific theory, could we anticipate and predict when a war would break out between two countries? Our theory would be highly symbolic. What people say and do does not change the outcome when control and domination is the true intent.  Whether it is a question of anticipating when a war will occur, or for that matter which court case has a chance of winning or none, all such things should be possible to do - if only we had a scientific theory of control and domination!

Let us define our first equations: CD = the sum of all cd's

CD in capitals refers to control and domination. The "cd" in small letters refers to individual components that together form the whole.

So, if I want to steal the property from my elderly demented neighbor. To achieve this, I need to engineer and then control and dominate a situation that will give me the end result. Let us say the neighbor is in his eighties and has dementia. He has one daughter who regularly visits him. In Australia, this is not had to do. As long as you have money, all you do is the next time the daughter visits, go and talk to her - but in a special way. Accuse her father of threatening you. The daughter does not believe this but tries to explain he has dementia. You raise your voice, if possible let a neighbor hear you arguing. Then you slightly turn and pretend to fall. You then telephone the police saying you were assaulted. The police arrive, do not see any sign of such, but this does not matter. The next day you rush off and pay a specialist barrister $10,000 and they purchase for you a court order called an AVO - Apprehended Violence Order - which is an interim order but which stops the daughter visiting her father or coming with a kilometer of your house.

You congratulate yourself! The first part of your plan is in place. You are now on a way to legally transferring the property of the old man to yourself. With his daughter away, the man does not know how often she visits because he has memory loss due to dementia, you become more friendly and spend much time with the old man. You tell him his daughter wants him in the nursing home and to protect him, you need the old man sign a document which gives you power of attorney. A person with dementia, when frightened and this can be done easily, will sign anything. You now have a documented in your hand which you can use to even take out the money from the old man's bank account.
