Superpowers, part the deux.
2008 November 11
Hi. Remember when I was asking you to tell me if you would take flight or invisibility if given the choice? Obviously, the resounding winner was flight & I'm not surprised. Most people wish & dream they could fly. Heck, even if we could fly at the speed of walk, I'm sure we'd still take it.
Anyway, the reason I asked was because I listened to a piece on This American Life where John Hodgman asks this very question of his friends & other people, and asks them to defend their reasoning. He lays out the ground rules that I used. Funny to hear some people initially choose invisibility, and then finally argue themselves over to flight. It's really funny, you should listen to it.
