Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window. - eviltoast

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?

    If I can’t truly know how I’d behave, then this discussion is pointless.

    I claim that you don’t know how you’d truly behave, and that people are generally decent and wouldn’t harm others if there were no consequences
