Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window.

Pretty much the title. I've been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality.

I think it's easy for us normies to respect other people and their property because there are clear consequences for violating social norms. But what would the average person do if they had super powers?

I think he's just saying he would assassinate the richest 1%, as opposed to just robbing them.

Oh. Well nothing of value would be lost.

I am sure the knife would dull and the bicycle would wear... so, some loss.

But switching out the knife would not be ecological. the last 100 billionaires would probably prefer a spoon.
