Pretty much the title. I've been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality.
I think it's easy for us normies to respect other people and their property because there are clear consequences for violating social norms. But what would the average person do if they had super powers?
These are fun things to speculate about, but ultimately I have no idea what I'd do if I suddenly had that kind of power. I might use it for good, or I might become a monster.
I don't think I'd be a monster, but I'm definitely stealing my girlfriend parts for a PC.
What if everyone could do it?
I'd mabye steal things i dunno
Can I stop it for myself as well? Because if so, score.
There's a film called Hollow Man that explores this. But the guy becomes invisible rather than being able to stop time.
Inspired by the Ring of Gyges from Plato's Republic. If you ever wondered if there's anything new under the sun
Completely unrelated, but we definitely need more Space Battleship Yamato memes
I'm not sure my mind could handle it. I think I'd lose my sanity and my grip on reality.
I know that if I had powers, I would be a straight up self serving villain. No question.
