A whip is a useful tool to force people into coordination

It’s an awful tool. It can’t convey complex ideas, doesn’t maintain a useful catalog of effective uses, and only works at a very limited range for a tiny number of subjects on a momentary time scale.

I might suggest replacing your whip with a library. Libraries have been far more successful at organizing and commanding large numbers of people over long periods of time. The library was arguably the most effective tool of the Pharaohs of Egypt, the Chinese Dynasts, and the Catholic Church in commanding populations by the tens of millions.

Wielding a whip makes you a nuisance. Wielding a library makes you a God.
