Dude having powers that make you more special than 99.9999% of the population doesn't make you better than anyone else

Lewd mob

>this is almost worse than the hard work > talent

I don't see this pushed as much as you guys seems to make it out to be, I mean some characters do talk about it but in the end the one with talent always has to work a little if not at all to succeed (see naruot db or one piece).

It's annoying but there's still truth to the message. I like Ritsu's line (ep10?) where he says something like
>It turns out it wasn't psychic powers that I wanted, but the ability to completely devote myself towards a goal.

Again, it's a bit annoying because I think anyone would be much happier with psychic powers and the obvious status-boost it would grant you. But I think a lot of people struggle with finding a passion and devoting themselves to it and that probably explains a lot of the depression and emptiness people feel.

Yes he fucking is.

>the only alternative to neetdom is ambitionlessly working 16 hours a day
Holy fuck cope harder you /r9k/ faggot

I mean you say that but pretty much everyone in mob with psychic powers are actually more miserable than people without them because they never had to learn how to be a well rounded person. Your right about the passion thing although I think people even put too much emphasis in that too. Why do people need to be passionate about one thing? Why can't we just like doing lots of things a little bit?

>I mean you say that but pretty much everyone in mob with psychic powers are actually more miserable than people without them because they never had to learn how to be a well rounded person.
I know. I'm saying IRL I don't think it'd happen this way, but it makes for a compelling story.

>Why do people need to be passionate about one thing? Why can't we just like doing lots of things a little bit?
Might be related to the status thing. Your overall status in society might not be high but as you master something your status within a community related to that thing rises. Moreover I think people feel inherent satisfaction in mastery itself, for whatever reason.

yeah mob psycho 100 has some thematic dissonance

Fucking spooks everywhere.
What a pathetic MC.

I mean you say that you don't think it would happen like that in the real world but there's not much evidence that I would be the case either. Celebrities for the most part are beloved by society and a lot of them tend to be miserable because of it. It depends less on how good the psychics are and more on how the derive satisifaction from their lives that would determine how happy they are. Same with anyone else. I do agree with the idea people find inherent satisfaction in mastery. I believe less in the idea of people finding stable happiness from societal status.

I recently started watching Mob, just finished Episode 10. I pretty much agree with the moral in the sense that having a special power shouldn’t cause you to think too highly of yourself. If you let your ego take control, you’ll likely end up a gross human being. It depends on your values, being a decent human being is a good thing for everyone though.

I think celebrities are happier than average, but tabloids report stories about the depressed and deranged ones.

It's to force conformity onto the truly special people in their society.
You know, the ones who have the ability to change things for the better but choose to keep the status quo that the rulers benefit from.

I mean they could be. Until we have some studies of average happiness for celebrities its hard to know but I'd wager they probably are just because they probably don't have to deal with poverty
In that instance I'd say that not having to worry about being poor is important to happiness.

I think the point just is:
>being able to blow stuff up with your mind doesn't mean you're qualified for political office or deserve get free gibs from convenience stores
It's like the umbrella guy, he had amazing powers but they only ever amounted to hired thug muscle. Not even proper security.
He ends up making a living as a talented ghost buster, but that still doesn't mean he should be President of the World or some juvenile shit like that.

Ideally this principle should also apply to "having friends and family in positions of authority" or "having lots of money", but sadly it doesn't.

This. Also I don't think people are utilizing the suspension of disbelief the show asks of us. People are inserting their own real life stances on psychic powers when in the world of Mob Psycho they're obviously not as fantastical as we view them. People in the show only act temporarily surprised when they interact with an esper. It's clear we're largely supposed to equate them to a special quality that some people have that can be used to take advantage of others, like fame, wealth, intelligence, etc.

>wah wah, someone was born more advantaged than me
I bet you faggots voted for hillary, cry more

>dude having powers that make you more special than 99.9999% of the population doesn't make you better than anyone else
>dude having riches that make you wealthier than 99.9999% of the population doesn't make you better than anyone else
>dude having a gun that makes you deadlier than 99.9999% of the population doesn't make you better than anyone else
>dude having unsullied white aryan heritage that makes you purer than than 99.9999% of the population doesn't make you better than anyone else

The context of this scene is Mob talking down Magneto about how being a mutant doesn't make him any better than anyone else. Getting a lucky break that gave him power doesn't mean he has the right to lord that power over everyone else. He's "special", yes, but so is everyone, in their own ways, and having power doesn't give him the right to ignore them and abuse it. This is basic "hey, maybe don't be a sociopath" shit. How do you misinterpret this?

No, he isn't. Take a look at OP, he's so good at sucking dick and swallowing a full load in one go, but that doesn't make him a better person even a bit.

I'd wager that status helps too. But yea, let's wait on those studies.

OP sounds just like one of those guys who bully kids for their lunch money

This.

It's like every other supervillain who gets eyelasers or whatever and decides to take over the world. Like, seriously, buddy? You think eyelasers are going to help you balance the national budget or run a Fortune 100?

Better than voting for orange shit.

He is a nigger though

Based.

You're right.
BUT that gives him power and he should be proud of his own ability and be able to utilize it to make things better for himself and others.

What qualifies anyone for public office or positions of authority?
You wouldn't say that all people in positions of authority deserve it or are any good at it would you?
But their social strata and who they rubbed elbows with and sheer luck lets them get that. And they have no problem lording it over people.

So what's wrong with someone like MOB deciding to use his powers to do good things for existence for people for everyone.

I think that if your well rounded and have good self esteem then a little bit of status isn't going go hurt. If your basing all your self esteem off of how other people view you then your going to have a bad time in the long run.

This is a weak mindset.
To be gifted and not exert your gift (positively or negatively) is the real sin.
Imagine castrating the billions of years of time and resultant energy that culminated in your excellence because of the spooks of others.
Will to power etc.

>balance the national budget or run a Fortune 100?
user, when you have power, real power none of that shit matters.
You can do what the people in power do right now. Get people who know what they are doing and don't want to monetarially and won't emotionally benefit from being greedy dogfuckers to do it.
As for fortune 100.
You honestly believe a multinational corporation means anything when you can nuke mountains with a thought?
Money in fact means nothing.
Most of the money that the wealthiest in the world claim to have is made up. It's backed by fuck and all and our belief in the system.
If you have the ability to rip apart cities with the slghtest whim then the concept of money becomes nothing.

So are you, so am I.
What's your point.

Mob doesn't want that though. He doesn't like using his powers and wants to just be a good well-rounded person on his own merits.

Mob vs spiderman when?

No actually.
Hilary is in fact an evil cunt donald is just an egomaniacal asshole.

I can deal with a jerk with an ego. They can be reasoned with and aren't essentially evil.
I can't deal with a two faced monster like Clinton.

Deleted for saying the N word

A person that hates something about themselves that much is someone who will never be at peace or happy.
He'll never be well rounded.
He'll always be a broken self hating mess that will cause more problems for himself and worse for him the people he loves then cure them.

The more he tries to downplay and run away from his gifts the worse things are for everyone.
Look at his battle with the other esper.
If MoB saw his powers as part of himself and something he had to master and utilize correctly for the benefit of the people he love and society instead of seeing as this evil burden that makes him stand out and be a bad person.
Then none of that shit would have happened.
He'd be in a position to talk to and even easily defeat that guy before things popped off.

This, all of that mess is his fault.
And he should be ashamed.

The last arc of the manga is all about this

Spiderman is part of the fight for the status quo and never be seen as special and stand out crowd.

Also modern spiderman in the comics is a boring waste of spunk loser.

But we have nukes and we still have companies so what's your point? Do you think this ubermensch isn't going to want things? Unless they are super smart as well they're still going to need people to make things.

Oh really?

>implying either would make a difference
The way americans think their votes matter is fucking hilarious. Obama was the liberal hippy progressivist and he had no problem turning arab kids into fucking squibs the same way evil baddie bush did. You have no control over your country, multinationalists do. Presidential elections are about as meaningful as sacrificing a fucking goat.
journalistsresource.org/studies/politics/finance-lobbying/the-influence-of-elites-interest-groups-and-average-voters-on-american-politics/

Yeah.
We do.
But we don't have sentient nukes.
Sentient nukes that want things.
By the way, once you have that kind of power and influence then those things are meaningless trinkets that hold no weight.
What could those builders create that soemone with that kind of power would want?
I'm serious.
What would they have for him?

How many fucking times are you gonna make this same exact thread you absolute human scum

This is literally what the end of the manga is about

>be a mediocre male athlete
>"You could be #1 if you compete against women, to not become a tranny and exploit the gifts you were born with is a sin"
some people have a sense of pride and fairness, user

No shit stupid.
Everyone knows that the vote doesn't matter and hasn't mattered in fucking centuries.
The country has been a corporation that stole the sovereignty of the states long before we even knew what happened.

At least we can sort of pretend that the vote matters so that people who cast it will effect change in their lives that helps the country from the bottom up.
But right now we only have evil and stupid men and women to choose from with none of them even being good enough to be good fucking figure heads.

Didn't you get btfo in this thread?

user, you're wrong.

While everyone in the race can run a mile in 4 seconds this person can teleport to the finish line.

That's the difference.
The race means little once you have something like that.
Participating in the race is just disingenuous assholery on the part of the gifted.
You probably took the place of someone who worked damned hard to get there and you're not even really giving it your all.
You're just playing at something that is important to everyone else.
It's pretty damend fucked up if you think about it.

A male that cannot compete with men is not exceptional in that field and never will be. Your cherrypicked argument is stupid, as are you.
A more apt example would be a man in a corporate setting not taking advantage of his charisma and single-mindedness to promote himself within the corporation against women who are incapable of those traits.
You can die by your pride and fairness while those with the will to power carve their own niche in the world.

>But right now we only have evil and stupid men and women
user are you retarded? You could put the most virtuous person in the world in position of president and it wouldn't matter, because your entire country doesn't contain a shred of democratic process. You don't have a president.

No he's fucking not. Everyone is good at something that everyone else sucks at. That's just life. Bolt might be fast as fuck but he might not have the talent to compose an orchestra. Same for Mob or even Goku. Goku is one of the strongest guys in the multiverse but he's downright retarded and is a shitty person in general.

No both your and his examples are fucking stupid.

The fuck are you even saying you cocksucker.
I just said the entire democratic process is almost a complete fucking farce in US inc.
I also quite clearly fucking stated that we at least need someone in office that is a good and virtuous person that will at least attempt to change things and be a good figurehead that inspires people.
We don't have that and never will.

I have no idea what the fucking point of your ridiculous fucking post is.

Anime.

>Goku is one of the strongest guys in the multiverse but he's downright retarded and is a shitty person in general.

DBS Goku is. He's an indefensably evil sociopathic monster.
DBZ Goku is the wisened ignorant naive master who wants to travel the universe fighting and shit.

As for bolt. Yeah he is.
Someone being able to compose an orchestra means nothing. Anyone can do that with enough study.
Will you be able to compose a GOOD orchestra? And by good I mean that the layman will like not just a handful of fart sniffing "critics" will like.

A man doesn't compete with women physically, retard. He competes by exerting dominance, only resorting to physicality if necessary.
You don't train a dog by beating it savagely with your fists and superior technology.
You're not "cucking" your will to power by not turning into a tranny and beating up women in fighting competitions they have no right being in in the first place.

Once again.
Both of your examples are fucking stupid and have less then fucking nothing to do with what we are discussing on even a tangential level.

>I also quite clearly fucking stated that we at least need someone in office that is a good and virtuous person
And how are you going to do that when you don't get to choose who you put in office?

>"You could be #1 if you compete against women, to not become a tranny and exploit the gifts you were born with is a sin"
You are saying like everything is in a fair and square competition
Oh so that's why MC's stop fighting in the middle of a battle to talk, for them everything is a fair and square match

You can lose wealth way easier than lose godly psychic powers

>we at least need someone in office that is a good and virtuous person

I'm sorry.
Are you still bitching about something that I never once talked about?
Outside of full class warfare and basically destroying the media nothing.
There's not much we can do.
And to be honest, class warfare is being routed by poisoning and slowling kiling off the natives and bringing in slaves from mexico and the middle east to replace everyone.

It really isn't. Believe it or not you can't run a society and all its structures off office workers alone.

I'm Lithuanian. Please tell me all about how horrible Japan's suicide rates are.
Better yet, instead of wasting my time, how about you actually stop being the kind of retard who bases his entire understanding of other countries off tabloid net articles.

I mean seriously, number #30 is "highest in the world"? Japan has lower suicide rates than fucking Belgium and is only 4 positions ahead of the US. You otaku faggots have a really warped view of what you perceive as the mythical fairy land of Japan.

Being powerful or talented doesent make you a better as a person

how did you fail to get that?

I do not watch this series, yet, but it is true being the 1% still makes you a shitty human.
I don't understand why most people don't understand that talent can't exist without hardwork. Hardwork is also genetic so it is a talent in itself.
Basically look at your parents. That probably how much you will be.

Another z baby who never read the manga I see.

yeah ??? its mob represed emotions and they actually take control of mobs body and act as an independant being that trys to absorves mob and take absolute control of the body
but at the end he get that doing so would be the same that shigeo did to him, both comes to an agreement and become one again
mob acept his emotions and powers as part of him, declare to his cruch, get rejected and keep growing, nice ending whit mobs crying and then laughting with all his friends

I really liked this thread. Yea Forums cant be retarded all day.

Go shove your genetic superiority shit up your fucking ass.
Epigenetics is as if not more important then mere genes.
Being the "1%" doesn't make you a shitty person inherently. Abusing your position and acting as if you deserve it for existing is shitty.

And this doesn't work with what we are discussing here and trying to equate them is ludicrous.

No shit stupid.
I didn't say "better" I said more powerful and greater. As in ability to do what you want not be "better".

Based. It’s ridiculously surreal to see Yea Forums actually understanding the most basic concept of an insanely accessible anime. It’s like a kid figuring out subtraction

Well, I mean, you're all retards. That's why you're here in the first place.

Jack of all trades, master of none.
But still better, than master of one.

Your talents are important only as you apply them. Being a psyker god means nothing if you use it to extort others or to impress girls.

Mob's moral is that neither talent, nor hard work mean jack if you don't aim yourself at something meaningful. That's the whole reason we see Mob's effortless ESP compared to his brother who scrabbled for it his whole life.

It's Mob's stupid ass fault for not using powers to get pussy.

>But I think a lot of people struggle with finding a passion and devoting themselves to it and that probably explains a lot of the depression and emptiness people feel.
That's because our society are retarded and exist only to make you consume more stuff. Your average human don't need passion and doesn't actually feel of it, if it wasn't for whole industries advertising passion to buy. Having a passion is fucking weird, but i guess techno-industrial society running on fossil fuel and burning million years worth of stored solar energy also is, as the first instinct woulf be to just lay on your side, fucking rest, conserve energy and maybe chat with some other humans to make sure you have some friends on your side and keeping good relation.

If people are feeling any sort of void in modern anynomised concrete jungle is because of lack of meaningful social relationship and a strong in-group/tribe to be part of. Not an undiscovered love of pottery. People want to mald pottery to be useful to the vilmage and thus indispensable to the village, not autistically make pots for existentiam reasons.

I guess it also come from the whole worship of the creative genius. I blame boomers, and whitoïd.

Being a good person and working hard and for others.

In other words, not magical powers that make you able to blow things up.

>Having a passion is weird

I cannot imagine being a fucking basic human like you.

its just one person who likes shitposting about Mob. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they're just pretending to not understand a show with such a simple message.

>kissanime

You've been successfully bamboozled. Anyway the question was about how most people fail to find a passion, and the answer is pretty simple, passion isn't selected for, and therefore the basic human is basic and has no need for autistic hobbies or project. The people who actually have passions are outliers.

We could discuss the possibility of the spreading of this personality traits. It does seem likely that as task get more cognitively demanding, specialised or whatever, that people who can get passionate may be more adapted to modern environment, and will be more successful at pretty much everything, and passionless replacable cogs (most of humanity) will be grinded into extinction through fat, sugar, virtual stimuli, drugs and consumption addictions. And after a while, passion may become a more common trait.

user, I think you need to get out a little, maybe read a newspaper.

Yeah but he sure as fuck gets more fame, admiration and money than the average person because of his phenomenal running power and skill.

Being parasitic at best, being malevolent and sadistic at worst.

What's important is your ability to filter memes (and keep the good ones), not your genes, though the latter directly influences your ability to do the former.

The average person is mediocre at everything.

If you're talented at just 1 thing that's absolutely enough to get through life with and be a special person, as long as you're at least smart enough to use your 1 talent. Or lucky enough to wind up in a position where everything works out for you. You absolutely do not need to be good at everything to be special or successful. If you're particularly good at one thing you can get other people to take care of all your other problems while you just do your 1 thing. Pro athletes are usually dumb as bricks but they're big and strong and throw balls good so they get paid millions of dollars, they don't need anything else.
Lots of businessmen also make millions of dollars, because they're good at business. Doesn't matter if they couldn't beat the pro athletes in a sports match.

>He's "special", yes, but so is everyone, in their own ways
Holy shit am i on tumblr?

Idk user it's done pretty well. You have this supposedly bad ass organization called Claw, that is really just a bunch of tryhard manchildren. The scars who are literally autists (one infuses his childhood toys with psychic energy, for example...another completely hides his face probably out of insecurity that his is an old manlet). They never developed into adulthood because they operated on shonen logic and mob is informing them that the world is not a shonen, even though his world actually is a shonen but when your world is a shonen and there is a kami tenchi character in it that can destroy you without difficulty then you're practically not even living in a shonen at all because the difference between you and him is the same as the difference between a normal human and an ant. Might as well be infinite. You also have Shou who is completely embarrassed of his father, which is pretty realistic.

Yeah we have so much evidence of the later happening

My talents aren't telekinesis, flight, barrier creation, exorcism and other miscellaneous miracles.

What I really hate is how awfully black-and-white the message is. It's as if you're either and average Joe or a maniac obsessed only with one thing.
People with a talent should focus their growth in that area. People with great athletic skills should train to be professional athletes, people good at science should study to become scientists, etc.
Mob could greatly contribute to society if he used his powers as a tool, but the message that the manga tells you is that you should ignore your talent until it naturally disappears and just have normal fun with your normal friends in a normal way, and when you grow up just become a normal salaryman.

Read the final arc of the manga

Everything only turns out fine because of coincidence. Had Mob fallen in with the wrong crowd, which, let's be real here, would have been far more likely, the entire world would have been enslaved by espers. Contrast that with the masterpiece that is HxH, where the ants being defeated by the humans' experience is an inevitability and relevant commentary on mankind's position on Earth, and it's laughable that one can say Mob is good.

Mobs right, if you don't understand this simple concept then you're most likely underage or have been in seclusion for too long.

It's more about your quality as a person rather than a literal "I'm better than you" thing.

Yeah using your psychic powers to get everything you want would be easy if there were no other psychics to stop you, however you would be a shitty person, as in you'd basically be a giant manchild who never learned to cope with anything without relying entirely on his psychic powers to resolve the situation.

Would your life be easy and enjoyable? Probably, as long as you didn't go full retard about it. But you as a person would be an emotionally stunted faggot with no friends because having powers isn't a substitute for a personality and social skills.

THAT is the point. Being a better person in this context is referring to a person's personality and emotional development, not physical abilities and special powers dick measuring.

>this thread
>tfw you realize that 90 percent of the anons on Yea Forums are exactly the type of emotionally stunted, underdeveloped manchildren who would be the villains of Mob Psycho were they psychics within the setting
This thread is full to the fucking brim with literal Claw mentality here. You niggers are gonna get destroyed verbally and emotionally by Reigen you childish, inexperienced faggots.

I agree with you but I think the age of atomized unfeeling robottery is here to stay, and so people need to find passion in meaningless shit like pottery else they perish.

So what if mob psycho isn't the social justice revenge flick you're lusting for. What do you want to hear? Too bad. That was a stupid thing to expect. Who fucking cares.
