As a Scientist, I respectfully disagree.
Are you a Mad Scientist?
Let’s consider the evidence-
I can project my consciousness from my body into the Digital Web to interact directly with the non corporeal consciousnesses of computer programs and other individuals.
I have also traveled to what the average person would (mistakenly) call other dimensions. To whit- the Lower Stratum Of The QuantumEtheric Foam, inhabited by the NCCFs of those whose bodies have died, The Highest Stratum Of The QEF (a realm of ideas made manifest), the Low Stratum of the QEF (something of a reflection of our common world. Inhabited largely by non human consciousnesses and the Lupines). I have yet to penetrate The Middle Stratum, a realm of dreams and chaos.
I have built-
The EuHarmonic Pyschotropic Radiator, also known as the Love Bomb. This device does no damage. Instead, it causes all within the area to experience feelings of joy, brotherhood and good will.
The Euharmonic Catalytic Converter. This device is an alternative energy source. It runs on hatred and emits curiosity.
I got my degree in Ether Psychology from a college hidden underneath The Franklin Institute and accessible only to those with Actualized NCCFs.
So, you tell me.
If you’ve created a “Love Bomb”, you are not Mad enough. Mad Scientists want terrified slaves or Zombified slaves, not happy ones. Also, a Mad Scientist would create a machine that outputs hatred, not uses it up as fuel.
I know Mad Scientists, and you, sir, are no Mad Scientist. But perhaps you are a Nomad Scientist – do you travel from town to town striking awe into the hearts of the simple peasants?
I am so sick of the stereotype that all Mad Scientists are evil!
Captain Nemo, Dr Jekyll, even Doctor Frankenstein were all working for the betterment of humanity.
Actually, Dr. Jekyll just wanted to get down with his own bad self.
I’m onto** Doc Cathode’s **scheme. A love bomb will cause uncontrollable desires to love one another and just plain feel good, distracting us from eptty concerns like our bank accounts.
Doc then projects his consciousness into the internet and then into the entire world’s bank acocunts, which he then transfers into an alternate dimension.
Economic collapse follows since everyone’s bank accounts are empty of their imaginary credits, most of the world starves as a result, and the Euharmonic catalytic converter is blowing gaskets in overdrive as Doc cuts loose with a wicked laugh. With all that power, **Doc **delivers modified love bombs that cause everyone to love only him. They few survivors elect Doc God and he rules the world.
Don’t trust all that innocence he’s trying to fool you with. He just wants to recruit you for majorly underpaid and abused lackey positions he has available here and there to get his plan in motion.
Mad scientists are all the same, evil to the bone, and they all have crazy hairdos.
Slight hijack, but who would qualify IRL for superscientist described as is in OP’s original post? Not evil one per se, but clearly with IQx2, at least profoundly eccentric if not clearly mad and with some serious scientific references? Tesla? Jobs? von Braun? da Vinci?
Your bank account is an empty concern. Instead of asking how you can accumulate more dollars, you should be asking why you don’t have enough cool doodads, geegaws, whatchamacallits, kejiggers and tchochkes.
Your bank account is protected by the Grey Faces who want you to remain a happy little consumer drone.
Honest, I don’t want to the rule the world. Ruling over one apartment is trying enough.
I don’t have lackeys. I have Assistants. Sadly, my last Assistant was killed in a battle with Nazi zombies. You continue to live in freedom thanks to Quentin’s noble sacrifice.
I am not evil- and just what is wrong with my hair?
New from Romco!
Hair Gel for Mad Scientists!
Has the frizz gone out of your doo?
Not getting the same stares at the laundromat?
When you look in the mirror, does your reflection run away in despair?
Well, fear not, evil laugher and kicker of puppies, Romco has a solution for your problem.
With our new patented Hair Gel for Mad Scientists, you too can have the hair you always wanted.
And you can get back to your plans for world domination knowing that your hair is PERFECT.
Because you’re using Hair Gel for Mad Scientists!
Available at Walgreen’s, CVS and Mad Scientists R Us.
I don’t have enough doodads maybe because my bank account is empty. But if you want to use your consciousness projecting trick to fill it up, I’ll some whatcha-ma-doohickeys with all kinds of neat flashing lights and stuff that only mad scientists truly appreciate.
Like I am going to believe the assurances of a mad scientist bent on world domination.
See above.
This is your give away. Your last lackey died battling Nazi zombies. But why would Nazi zombies be attacking poor innocent Doc? Exactly, he is their competition for world domination. And to head you off at the pass, “Doc Cathode” doesn’t sound like any Jewish name I ever heard.
You need some Romco Mad Scientist Hair Gel, that is plainly obvious.
Well, and then there’s Lex Luthor . . .
Only a Scientist can truly enjoy blinkenlights*. But every body can derive some fun from them
sigh. I am not bent on world domination. I don’t even want to dominate my neighborhood. I want universal peace and happiness.
AS Peter Parker often says, “With great power comes great responsibility.” It is the duty of all good people to fight evil. When you become Actualized, it becomes your duty to fight those who would use their powers for evil. When you learn of the existence of Nazi zombies, you must fight them.
Just what is wrong with my hair?
- Blinkenlights is the actual technical term for the many indicator lights on old computers. Really.
Yeah, but what about filling my account so I can get me some blinkenlights and other neat-o mad scientist stuff?
Of course “universal peace and happiness” is from your point of view, and is described above where all person love you and elect you God. What better way to achieve world peace and happiness than to control it? You have to admit, with all these different countries squabbling over who gaets to nuke who, they haven’t yet achieved universal peace and happiness.
Which so strangely happens to coincide with you battling Nazi zombies for a purpose of taking over the world.
When you get some Romco Mad Scientist Hair Gel and try it out, you’ll understand.
This is part of your evil plan somehow, but I haven’t figured out how yet.
The rest of you might enjoy Blinkenlights, but I enjoy them on a higher level.
I’m seriously offended though. If you just got to know those of us who suffer from Malign Hypercognition Syndrome, you wouldn’t repeat these hateful stereotypes.
And if I may, all this talk of “Death Rays” and “Time Machines” is typical of the amateurs back at the Academy who couldn’t appreciate my genius. Fools. Someday they will…where was I? Oh yes, the highest aspiration of the true scientist is the creation of life Ex Nihilo. In fact, I have recently perfected my own race of Atomic Supermen. You probably haven’t heard of them, they’re kind of obscure.
You shouldn’t say that around Doc Cathode. Competition, you know. But since you have Atomic Supermen, he is probably aware he is going to be running short on lackeys. More proof my theory is correct!
P.S. Your Atomic Supermen aren’t also Nazi zombies, are they? I see it all falling into place.
For the last time(the massive amount of subliminals in my posts notwithstanding), I am not evil.
A quick scan with the Gygaxometer confirms I am good. So there.
Look, just because 99% of all Mad Scientists are Evil, that doesn’t mean all of them are.
There could be Neutral ones.
I want a handheld bimbofication beam.
Totally this. The only reason they call you “mad” is because they don’t understand your plan. You love the world and only want to save it - from itself.
