If real people got powers, do you think they would all become corrupt, evil psychopaths?

    In reality, the ones who didn’t care would outnumber the ones who did.

    That’s not true. Most people care about public perception. From dictatorships to narcissists to normal people

      There are certainly people who do. But I think they are the minority. They do sort of bunch up though. So if you are one, you probably don’t realize you are the minority.

        I’d say theybare the majority. Dictators care about their prescription. And look at all the people online trying to sell their public image.

          Dictators care about how they are perceived because they used skills in manipulating how they are perceived to get into the position they are in. Making it a self selecting group. But when you change “how” they get there to simply be that they were given superpowers at birth, you remove the self selection. So now it is just a random sampling of the population, which in my opinion skews toward not caring as much about how they are percieved if they don’t need to.
