The Big-Brained Superheroes' Handbook: Part 2 of X

The Big-Brained Superheroes’ Handbook continues with…

Rule #2: Humans are unruly and, therefore, cannot be ruled. (courtesy of those unruly Avengers … yet again)  This rule is great for two reasons: 1. It’s a lot more powerful than it may seem at first glance (like us!). 2. Rules about unruly lack of rulability rule!

On a micro scale, unruliness can (and often does) cause great consternation and discord.  But on a macro scale, unruliness can (and often does) lead to great originality and inventiveness.  The upshot of rule #2 is fairly straightforward: Let’s focus our superpowers on trying to minimize the micro costs of unruliness while maximizing the macro benefits of unruliness.  After all, our Respect, Kindness, and Willpower superpowers wouldn’t get us very far without our Empowerment, Sense of Adventure, and Critical Thinking superpowers to go along with them.  The Big-Brained Superheroes Club has adopted some tactics to help us out in this process, and we’ll discuss those further at a later time.  But for now, let’s focus on the most important point here…

Big-Brained Superheroes actively avoid the control tactics of fear and domination. Supervillains are better at those anyway.
