Harry already intends to become god; this seems like a logical first step.
I wonder if he'll see it that way?
In the same sense that learning to fire a rifle is a logical first step to building an atom bomb?
While that's an amusing analogy, I was actually thinking it might be possible to use the resources of this nation (..widespread small city?) to solve the problem.
Being able to throw more brains at a problem is qualitatively different from gaining a little personal power.
