No, I was talking about conquering the world. I don’t recommend being a British shopkeeper at all if world conquest is your goal. Although Rupert Giles might like to test that theory. Maybe it even worked for him after all!
You don’t conquer the world by doing what you are encouraged to do by society. You do the encouraging. Adamantly.
If the history of conquerers can be taken as a guide you trust your cousins about as far as you can preemptively execute them.
