RE: Steemit Basic Income Giveaway (Superpower)
I'd like to be able to see into other people's souls and know instantly what they need. Not what they want, but what they need. And then to have the resources to provide that need when it most needs to be met.
Potential downsides:
- It would be a huge burden to bear, and it could lead to my own perpetual despair.
- Once others discover I have the power, I'd never get any sleep. My life could even be in danger.
- Others may try to manipulate the power to get what they want instead of what they need.
- It could also lead others to despair if they end up getting what they need and that need is also something they fear or do not want.
This sounds like a great power, although perhaps a little disruptive to the current economic system! Like you point out, what people need might be different to what they want... But it also supposes that there is some way to definitely and absolutely know what is 'needed', surely that is sometimes a matter of perspective?
Certainly is a matter of perspective. I'd say the only way to truly know what people need is to be God. And that's a pretty tall order.
The winners and the new question (I've told you how to do this before...) is here:
