The next rulers of the universe

I have been thinking about something [personal profile] inverarity said a few weeks back. It occurs to me that if I were to produce some sort of secret conspiracy to rule the world, in this day and age, there is a group that would be more credible than any other: young Asian ladies with university degrees. If you ever brought together [profile] tashmania, [personal profile] kikei, [profile] hermoinejean7, and [profile] cette_vie, you would definitely have enough brain-power and working capacity to take over the world with ease, not to mention enough charm to make the rest of us like it. They certainly would be a hundred times better than the present shower. Add [personal profile] dustthouart and [profile] expectare as honorary Easterners, and [personal profile] helixaspersa as honorary mistress of the world, period - she definitely has the brainpower, charm and hard work down pat, and I already promised once to cast her as a super-villain.

Merry Christmas, everyone, and have fun!

This made me smile quite a lot :-) I like the idea, hehe - I don't have the pleasure of knowing most of the other ladies you've listed, but I'm certain that with [livejournal.com profile] kikei at my side, world domination would be a cinch :D

It's the wrong time now that work, health and sentimental affairs make it almost impossible for you to follow LJ affairs (not that I am complaining; to the contrary, I am grateful that you make the effort to get back in touch from time to time), but if you had time I would tell you that you could do worse than find out about the rest of the ladies in question. [profile] cette_vie is a genius of Chinese extraction, currently at the University of Chicago. [profile] hermoinejean7 is studying all sorts of sciences somewhere in South India. [profile] expectare and [personal profile] dustthouart are young American ladies who specialize in Chinese and East Asian cultures, and [profile] expectare, being a cadet in the US Army, could take care of the military side of any conspiracy. And finally, [personal profile] helixaspersa is a phenomenally talented, attractive and charming scholar in the humanities, currently lecturing at Oxford. So I think you are in good company. If you start a conspiracy, don't tell me; I don't want to know. Just make sure I don't end up losing. 8-)

Oh, now we have to get to know each other and somehow plan to rule the world.

(And he called me a genius.)

Added you. You're it.

I like the idea :-) Added you back - I look forward to world domination ;-)

somehow, I missed this post. seeing it now has made me smile immensely... something that I really need to remember to do more often. I often lose faith in myself, so it really helps to know that even when I am down, there are others who still have faith in me.

Maybe I should post more silly posts.

Jokey. Unserious. Humorous. I did not mean to say that you are not all enormously talented, hard-working and charming young ladies - only that the idea of you four ganging together to conquer the universe Was A Joke.
