Teleportation vs Mind reading(can turn off)

Which is better for a normal person?

I would choose teleportation as I would be able to visit more countries and learn about them. Mind reading is tempting because I can learn all the secrets the world has to offer, but I could maybe know some of them via teleportation to places with secret documents not accessible otherwise. also i get to go to the moon(with preparation) if i have teleportation

Teleportation. No debate.

Mind reading is too much of a hassle for your mental peace. As they say, ignorance is bliss.

NEITHER. teleportation would completely disintegrate your entire body and rebuild it at the place you teleport too making you not the same human and just a shell of what you were before. every time you teleport you die. also mind reading would suck if there was no way to turn it off.

#21

Technically you aren’t the same human every second you’re alive. your atoms constantly get replaced and eventually most of your original atoms are replaced. I personally believe in “my memories define who i am” rather than some atoms, so I wouldn’t care if a clone took my place when I died.

Also you can turn off mind reading btw

#28

i would take teleportation if my own consciousness takes the place of the yoru clone

#34

Frags

consciousness could be fake for all we know. Tbh not much seperates you and a clone of you. Every atom is identical anyways

yeh the thought of death is scary. you learn to cope better as you age, so i think u should be fine later on

honestly the mystery of not knowing whats on the other side is what kept me from committing every time but 1 (looking back that would have never worked im just a dumbass) maybe i should keep being scared

#53

Frags

don’t commit bro :/ Its just best to live life the way you want to and enjoy the moment. instead of thinking about death as something scary, think of it as neutral(no pain no happiness) and think of your life as a lucky dice roll that allows you to be happy rather than just neutral for awhile.

my idea is that conciousness is js the brain
if the brain exists, it can think; and you are your brain
so why would it being a different spot not be you
why would it be any different from going to sleep

#51

Frags

yeh thats what i think too. we only feel like we are the whole human because we get constant input from every part of the body. in reality, we are just the brain

Mind reading if no repercussions - many people are paralysed or in vegetative state, it would be nice if I can convey their messages to their loved ones

optimism bro. i use to be pessimistic and kept thinking that everything is over. turns out im exaggerating or overthinking, and it might not be as bad if i think positively.

teleportation for sure. I could go anywhere at any moment's notice. I could literally wake up at 7.30 if my class starts at 8 just because it takes an instant to go there

Mind reading. Teleportation is better overall, but it would be almost impossible to use it without other people knowing and there would be risks like imagine teleporting and there's just car about to drive over it etc. Also like I said if people knew you had this power it would become impossible to live normal life and governments would do their best to catch you. Mind reading is more boring and I likely wouldn't use it often, but you wouldn't get caught by it. But if we ignore all that and superpowers were normal then teleportation would be much better.
