If you were to give yourself one superpower, how would it kill you?


Anything I imagine would instantly become true. You might think I'd accidentally imagine a monster and get eaten. But I could instantly fix the problem by imagining the monster disappearing. Furthermore, the constant, instantaneous feedback would be a perfect mental training scenario. I'd eventually learn such mental discipline that I'd become a boddhisatva. I would then realize that I should imagine everyone else having this superpower as well. Having done so, we would all escape this illusory world by imagining ourselves ceasing to exist in it.

Bonus logic bomb:

In a language without hypothicals, how would you construct this question?


"In the referred language, what is the referred way for you to construct this question?"

You can answer a question with a question, but can you question an answer with an answer?


Thing1 answers, "Of course you can't."

Thing2 replies, "Bullshit."
