Choose Your Ability

The latest question on our bulletin at work read as follows: If you had the ability to either read minds or the ability to immediately transport yourself anywhere, which would you choose? I picked "read minds", but on retrospect the ability to transport yourself anywhere sounds pretty good too!

I'd definitely want the ability to transport myself anywhere. Sometimes I think I could read some people's minds (not really, but I can figure out what they must be thinking) . . . and quite frankly I really don't want to know what people are thinking at this point in my life.

I am with you on that one. I do not want to know what people are thinking as I probably wouldn't speak to them again.

@ramapo17 We have enough on our minds . . . no sense bombarding it with what's on other people's minds . Say, wasn't there a Twilight Zone episode where some man could hear other people's thoughts?

Interesting to ponder. I don't think it would be a good thing to be able to read minds!

I wouldnt want to read minds, but would at the same time. Cause at least youd know what exactly people are thinking even if you dont like it. And youd be able to x people out of your life too that are bad mouthers in their heads. Transporting sounds fun though. Especially since i don't drive. Cuz i could be like.. take me to get pizza. Aha.

I would totally transport myself haha I am already insecure enough, I would rather not actually hear what people think about it. But I would like to be able to just pop up and be like "Hey there is a concert happening tonight, let's go!" Haha!

I think you are right. More and more I wish I had picked the option of transporting myself. Reading other people's minds could be down right revolting and scary.

@Jon2071 Imagine reading someone's mind that is a friend, or thought they were a friend.

I would choose transport, too. Mind-reading would be an invasion of privacy, as well as other reasons that were already mentioned in responses. But, to just up and be somewhere else in a flash.......that would be cool!

I think it is a skill, i can read minds. It is a good way not to be betrayed by people.

I think it's definitely best not to know what people are really thinking, there would be a lot of enemies made

That is so true @jaboUK. Wow, I cannot imagine knowing what people are thinking about. We could get into a lot of trouble knowing things like that. I wonder if mediums can peak inside the thoughts of everyone.

I would choose to transport myself anywhere I want to go. That would be great.
