    Intellectual question time. (Power)

    Alright before starting understand this is a no right answer type of thing, the question is based on your intellect NOTHING ELSE as it relates to your reasoning in it's totality.

    it supposed to be FUN, if you like these sort of questions and if you ever taken an I.Q test or SAT for example it could sort of apply to your perceptual reasoning but since this is NONE of that, there is No right or wrong answer so here it goes.

    When I think of the options I think of different time periods where each option becomes more and more difficult to control, with a meteor wiping out all life probably being the most threatening, but I believe we have the technology to deflect meteors at this point. Successful cult leaders are probably the scariest honestly, as you can control uneducated indoctrinated folks into doing whatever you want, which we still see today unfortunately.

    I think the power of choice is still the most powerful, as your 'choices' to do anything are practically infinite. Unless of course someone is making choices for you.

    Entirely depends on the context, and how that power is measured. Since none is provided, then indeed any of those answers are just as good as the next.

    Why is "White penis" not an option?
    Unreason and anti-intellectualism abominate thought. Thinking implies disagreement; and disagreement implies nonconformity; and nonconformity implies heresy; and heresy implies disloyalty — so, obviously, thinking must be stopped. But shouting is not a substitute for thinking and reason is not the subversion but the salvation of freedom. - Adlai Stevenson

    I like how you reasoned it, yeah I think you are correct it does depend on your perspective for instance does a Meteor actually have any power over something unless say life were involved in the first place.

    Likely, but still it depends on your perspective, I mean the Angry Mob, have you seen what happens to people trampled to death or attacked online, it can get pretty damn ugly.

    The thing is, that without provided context to make determination out of, we can create scenarios where each of those has more power than the rest, since the scenario would be tailored to fit that answer.

    Which is the best killing tool for example? Probably that meteor. Or the virus, depending on what characteristics we give them.

    If you see what I mean ^^

    If you add too much context in this instance you run the risk for influences the results, some people have an affinity to look for typical ques to tell them what to think or how, if you want to eliminate that you have to sometimes give less information.

    It's the A or B or C or D type of mentality. Which is also why this can't be a right or wrong type of question that is what has to be given up. Yet still even then people our of fear or habit will freeze or not be able to trust themselves to answer how they see it.


    And you should create scenarios, I hope people do, because by doing so you can really get a great idea about their process for logic and reason, hell you can even get a good sense if otherwise they kind of fake it most of the time.

    The meteor objectively has the most power. The only thing that all of those answers share in common that could be called power is the scientific definition of power, of which the meteor objectively has the most of.

    Power is the rate (energy amount per time period) at which work is done or energy converted. The scientific unit of power is the watt (W), which is equal to one joule (energy amount) per second (time period).

    There are of course other kinds of power, but if you used any of those kinds of power to answer the question then some of those things would have no power.

    I know this has been stated but how can you kill that which has no life?

    Thus unless it collides with something like a planet with life, is it really a threat, and if so how much. A meteor has hit the Earth before and from out perspective now if that happened it would for sure end Our lives but the planet on the other hand could life in some form still go on.

    Being a human I know what is most important to me that is for sure.

    Threat level is a different kind of power, which I already addressed.

    You need to read more intersectional feminists friend. White penis is the most powerful thing in history. Don't you know it is why it is called 'mankind'?

    Cult leader.

    Power of elimination out of one's control is ever present and not an actual active power. This is the default state of the universe actually.

    All value, power is a value assignment, is only relevant in the human context.

    A leader of a cult, assuming fanaticism, would theoretically be able to make other humans assign value based on their own will and idea. This would be a total usuprtment of agency- the basis of individual thought above biology.

    There is no power greater than to control others.

    Only other people matter, in a universe of absolute indifference to individual manifestation, the access to the agency of another entity is a triumph over singular existance.
