I love hypotheticals. I think they’re an integral part of the life of the mind- from learning to reason practically, to learning to separate concepts. Here are some hypotheticals that have buzzed through my mind over the years. Superpowers You can read the minds of people around you- in fact you find it difficult to stop. Only with uncomfortable effort you can prevent yourself from reading minds. Do you have a moral obligation to constantly make that effort? Assume that simply disclosing your powers to everyone you meet is not an option, because you’re worried you’ll be experimented on by the government if they find out.
