You've been indoctrinated if you choose anything but destroy. The kid is a manifestation of shepard's guilt. The kid lies. The kid presents absurd options that deliver pie in the sky endings for either shepard or society which we've already seen to be NOT as the kid presents. Examples:
1. Saren was synthesis in the boss fight at the end of ME1 and look what he turned into - a laser spitting machine that was hell bent on killing and IIRC or if I heard correctly, it sounded like Harbinger. So that's what synthesis gets you.
2. It's utterly absurd to imagine or think that Reapers would ever ALLOW themselves to be controlled by an inferior species. No matter what logic you present, it will not fit with anything presented regarding the reapers to date. All they care about is harvesting organics which represent CHAOS to them and are nothing to them other than inferior tools to be used by them for their harvests. Also, they are the most advance intelligence known in the history of civilization. On what delusional plane of existence can one even possibly consider or imagine such an entity allowing itself to be controlled by an inferior life form? And don't say it's the crucible or the kid allowing it. That's spiked cool aid or better yet, INDOCTRINATION.
Also, on virmire (I think virmire but maybe just before the boss fight), Saren basically says something akin to the reapers seeing the value of shepard and wanting shepard to join them. Yes, join them and become One of them. Saren joined them, and we see the results of that. Join them so you cannot warn of our impending destruction of all advanced civilization in the galaxy. Funny how they WANT shepard to join them or more accurately I'd say convenient since Shepard opposes them and aims to stop them and has seen they are coming in force and what happens when they arrive thanks to the beacons and cipher. And now, just as Shepard is about to destroy them we get this wonderful option to control the reapers. You are being indoctrinated if you can't even deduce that they will NEVER allow you to control them. There is nothing special about Shepard. It's delusional and part of the indoctrination process which happen in close proximity to reaper tech which at that moment shepard is inside reaper tech and it's deliberately making a hard push to indoctrinate shepard which would explain the headache shepard appeared to have while talking with Illusive Man. Intensified indoctrination can cause headaches as stated somewhere in all this lore. Drink the cool aid, buy what the starchild (who happens to sound like Harbinger if you choose refuse - do you need more difinitive proof at who starchild is than that?) says and become indoctrinated into believing you are making a fantastic decision for the sake of the galaxy.
Both pie in the sky options that are not destroy are there to prevent you from destroying the reapers. They are aiming to indoctrinate you so you won't destroy them. They will lie, manipulate, etc to get you to choose to not destroy them. They also want you to accept it willingly or do they need you to willingly choose? Not sure on that point or why but since refusal brings out Harbinger and then we're back at square one, I'm going to say that indoctrination cannot happen unless you allow it to happen and refusal is you not allowing it to happen. It dooms the galaxy, but it does not get shepard to become its servant, which it seems was what it wanted back on Virmire as said by saren. Another indoctrinated spectre? Win for the reapers.
People can believe what they want, which is the point of the whole trilogy. You choose and your choices shape what happens. Look at how many people throughout history and even currently believe things that are false or damaging or just plain old lies. But you have a choice to not believe these things. You can reject them. You can see them for what they are. If you'd prefer to believe some magical pie in the sky option exists then so be it. If it makes you feel better, believe it. Just remember that just because you believe it doesn't make it true. Also, anything that seems to good to be true, particularly when presented to you under diress as an option just before you are about to destroy it is probably NOT TRUE. There is an agenda here. The reapers want to survive which is why they want to destroy the leviathans since they are reaper killers. But you, as Shepard, get to have power over them via control or bettter yet reshape all species into what they want but they make it look so good it's hard to not choose it if you haven't paid attention. No need to harvest in cycles anymore when you can transform the entire galaxy in one swift moment to the advantage of the reapers while turning all 'lesser' life into their slaves (Remember the collector ship when they discover that the collector was once a prothean? Does anyone actually imagine that synthesis is anything but that sort of transformation?). That is synthesis though it looks nice and pie in the sky, doesn't it?
If it looks too good to be true, it is. More accurately, if it looks too good to be true it is indoctrination in action and a form of hallucination or delusion or something of the like. Destroy is the only option where you know for sure organics are not going to be destroyed and reapers are. Also, it was the original intent to destroy them as soon as shepard learned of them and what they do. But at the last moment when shepard has the ability to do that here come these picture perfect options where nobody gets destroyed? And let's not forget that the starchild resembles the child shepard feels guilt over and that whomever died on virmire haunts his/her dreams where this starchild keeps appearing. Reapers are using guilt to indoctrinate. Pick the pretty blue or green options and no blood is shed, all is well and you get to live in a fairytale until you become a mindless husk.
BW will never admit it, but they just pulled the most massive mind screw in the history of gaming or even media. As much as many hate the ending because it wasn't traditional with the big boss fight and epic hero depending on what magic pill you swallow (blue, green, red), they just indoctrinated the majority of their players and proved how easily such a thing can be done. More amusing, how hard the indoctrinated will push against the reality that they have been indoctrinated just as it has always been. People will fight for their beliefs even when they make no sense.
