When I was in college taking philosophy , Dr. Emmer asked my class this question:
If you could choose a superpower, which would you pick: Flight or Invisibility?
I knew right away which I would pick given the chance. Or at least I thought I did.
We had a brief discussion of what we thought about the question and then Dr. Emmer played an audio clip. The clip comes from a radio show called "This American Life". In episode 178: Superpowers, there is a segment called Invisible Man vs Hawkman. John Hodgeman interviews people he meets about their choice and draws some interesting conclusions from what he finds.
I fell in love with this question and enjoy having the discussion every time. So, here I am before break, asking you the same question. Flight or Invisibility. Answer the question for yourself and then listen. Do you agree with Hodgeman's conclusions? What do you think?
Enjoy.
