“I’m in no rush to see flying cars, because I’ve seen the way people drive on the ground.”
I think the same about superpowers.
As a teenager, I was longing for something miraculous to happen. Now I think it’s mostly for the best that people don’t get crazy abilities. There’s enough mass-murdering, modern slavery, and ecocide as there is.
Even Facebook is a foretaste of what mind reading would be, and it ain’t pretty 😀
