@Averageaspirant I wrote it on following lines: How the key to every problem or solution in this world lies in the mind? For instance, it is the mind where all ideas, imaginations firm up, it is the mind where concrete plans are made - only then they come into action. How for example - if we want a world based on peace and not wars, it is our minds where we need to put the defences (this was one topic in mgp essays too). Further, what are some no-go areas even in spheres of technology? like should genetic editing be allowed - it's the mind that has to set the principles for this. Further how we can think through all our plans in the mind, make necessary corrections, improvements to further organise our future. I gave multiple arguments and examples for this. IN the end, i wrote that however, it's not only the mind, where the empires are built. It requires us to heed our heart too. Like, our mind is more calculative, but not all decisions can be based on calculations or logic. An empire of peace and compassion requires us to listen to the heart too. Then around 1 page discussing on this aspect. Finally, i ended with the need to fuse the two: mind and heart. I concluded with a poem -"Future, future, where are you?In my mind is that true?Do you have an empire in store for me?Future replied - well, fuse your mind and heart - and you shall see!"
I also wrote the same essay. I made two interpretations and explained both with pro and counter arguments.
my interpretations-
1- Those who controls the mind will control the world ( it was having the sense of ideologies, religions etc as tool to control people)
2- It will be mind that will rule the world in future (Brain Computer Interfaces, AI etc , basically technological aspect) Something related to Social Media, Data
In introduction I started with a quote of '1984' by George Orwell
''War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength'' and talked about how Ministry of Truth was used to control people ...
used example of Jonathan Haidt 'The Anxious Generation' and Cambridge Analytica, fahrenheit 451 etc..
I dont even remember most of my essay now
