Social Control Theory

The study of how elites (states, corporations, institutions) keep the masses in line using a trio of levers: Money (economic incentives/debt), Ideology (narratives like patriotism or wokeness), and Fear (of chaos, violence, or ostracism). Jiang posits that stable societies master all three: pay people enough to be comfortable, convince them the system is just, and scare them with what happens if it falls. The theory examines which lever is pulled during crises—print more money, ramp up propaganda, or unleash the police.

Example: "During the pandemic, Social Control Theory was on full display: Money (stimulus checks), Ideology ('we're all in this together'), and Fear (of disease and social shaming). When one lever failed, they doubled down on the other two."

Imaginary Control Theory

The radical idea that the most powerful forces in society—Money, Individual rights, and Nation-States—are collective hallucinations we all agree to believe in. A dollar bill is just paper; a border is just a line; your "freedom" is just a story. Jiang's theory states that power is the ability to control these shared fictions and make them feel real and immutable. The most successful elites are the master world-builders who can create a new "imaginary" (like cryptocurrency or a new national identity) and get millions to buy into it.

Example: "Imaginary Control Theory explains Bitcoin: it's a new shared fiction of value, created from nothing, that competes with the old fiction of the U.S. dollar. The 'truth' is just whichever story more people believe and enforce. It's all a meta-game of make-believe with tanks and bank accounts."

Climate Control

On a planetary or large-habitat scale, this refers to the deliberate, mega-engineering efforts to manipulate and stabilize atmospheric and environmental conditions to achieve a desired state—a.k.a. terraforming or climate engineering. It's not just adjusting a thermostat; it's using world-altering methods (like orbiting solar mirrors, releasing engineered gases, or seeding oceans) to warm a frozen Mars, cool a runaway greenhouse Venus, or maintain equilibrium in a massive space habitat. It's the ultimate expression of humanity as a geological force.

*Example: Proposals to melt the Martian ice caps with orbital mirrors to release CO2 and thicken the atmosphere, or spraying sulfate aerosols into Earth's stratosphere to reflect sunlight and combat global warming, are acts of Climate Control. It's planetary-scale gardening with potentially universe-altering consequences.*

Social Control Systems Theory

A framework analyzing how societies regulate behavior not primarily through violence, but through integrated networks of institutions, norms, and technologies that shape what is thinkable, desirable, and permissible. It moves beyond crude models of "oppression" to map the subtle, distributed architecture of conformity: schools that sort and credential, media that frame and omit, architecture that guides movement, debt that disciplines, and algorithms that curate reality. The theory posits that modern control is less a whip than a gravitational field—invisible, pervasive, and internalized as common sense.

Social Control Systems Theory Example: Social Control Systems Theory examines how a teenager in a modern democracy is "controlled." Not by police, but by a system: school schedules condition compliance, standardized exams define intelligence, social media algorithms reward attention-optimized behavior, consumer debt enforces labor participation, and the two-party political menu constrains imagination. No single entity orchestrates this; it's a system that has evolved to regulate its own human components.

microplastic control group

The terrifying realization that we live in a society where the world's most powerful individuals couldn't be half-assed to care about plastic waste, and that there are now microplastics inside of every living person on earth.
There is plastic in YOUR testicles RIGHT NOW!

Originated from an attempted science experiment where researchers tried to find the effect of microplastics in humans, but couldn't find anyone without microplastics inside of them

person 1: "bro everyone is so stupid nowadays"
person 2: "microplastic control group ahh situation"
