whys no one choosing invisibility

because it's mostly useless. you still wouldn't be able to enter most interesting/useful places because those are locked so you're not getting in anyway. you could really only use it to creep on people which most people aren't interested in.

I think precognition has the most potential but also the most downsides if not handled correctly. Imagine hearing the dark and crazy thoughts of every single individual that you meet 

 

 

that's not what precognition is. precognition is the ability to foresee future events before they happen, not hearing other people's thoughts. that'd be telepathy.

 

OT: I would go with precognition. Like others have said, you can bet on events and become rich. Once you're rich international travel will be easy and accessible to you so you don't really need teleportation. Plus you could predict your future in so many useful ways, like preventing illness or accidents.

There should be restrictions for people who teleport  the unwanted intrusions. Perhaps a force field that would electrocute them and send them back from whence they came.

Oh  Thnx. In that case I'd go with precognition too.

Why choose just one?

Teleportation, hands down. Traveling the world would be as easy as blinking.

this!

I would never pick precognition. It sounds like a curse.

Precognition, but it depends on how it works. 

 

Like if I saw an bad event occur with precognition and stop the event from happening, wouldn't that mean the bad event would never had happened in the first place thus the precognition was wrong? It would feel very "time travelling to kill your younger self" paradoxical.

 

Or if I saw a bad event occur and try to stop it from happening, but since I saw the event happen, all the things I did to stop it happening caused it to happen, thus making the precognition a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. [i.e. I saw the future and can't stop it from happening no matter what].

 

If the power was limited to events outside your control (ex: seeing next weeks winning lotto numbers on a tv) I guess that would be the best case scenario with precognition.

Smart people choose teleportation.

Teleportation

Precognition, the further I can look ahead the better, I place my trades before it happens and play weekly options. It's basically the infinite money glitch.

 

It's also good to know when and where wars, forest fires, floods, agricultural disasters, earthquakes, famine,... start. Relocate!

I agree. It sounds like it would be the same as playing video games with cheats which gets boring and uninteresting extremely fast.

 

If I had that power I would only use rarely ( to get rich and identify health risks to myself and loved ones). Using that power all the time would make anyone miserable very fast.

Teleportation. 
 

I hate driving and Atlanta has **** transportation. 

100%  ppl round here are also really bad drivers

[thatsmydemi]

teleportation is definitely the most useful. 

 

 

[UnusualBoy]

Teleportation with ease. Precognition isn't bad but it sounds like something that would have stressed most of time trying to avoid all the things that will come my way or my family so it'd be a nightmare to know what's gonna happen.
