[ANARCHISM] Would You Give Everyone Superpowers?

in #anarchism10 years ago (edited)

Imagine that a wizard lets you choose between two options.

One option leads to a world where every person has the opportunity to give someone else superpowers. No one is able to grant himself these powers. The person granted these powers will be able to do pretty much anything, as long as it doesn't violate the laws of physics. The person with superpowers can for instance make sure that all people on earth have food and water, that everyone have jobs, that wars will end, that alcohol is prohibited, that all borders are closed for both people and goods, that dissidents are killed, that everyone gets as much ice cream as they can eat, that all single mothers receive special benefits, etc.

The other option leads to a world where no superpowers exist. No one can determine that all people on earth receives food and water, or that all drug users should be locked up in small cages. No benevolent people can get super powers. Unfortunately. But no evil people can get super powers either.

Today we live in a world that is like the first example. I hope everyone agrees that the second option is preferable.

I'll have whatever it isn't that we are currently having. Thanks for this thought provoker! <3

I tend to agree. You're welcome, thanks for reading and commenting! :)

For most people, most of the time, this is the best time in history to be alive. And it's getting better. Pick any metric.

Yeah keep the super powers away. We are still "unraised" in consciousness and we already have too much power at your grasp and can't handle the personal responsibility.
