    Summary

    "For the first time, ki-control - an ancient secret of the martial arts - has been laid bare in all its intricacies for the novice to learn. A form of energy, ki has gone all but unstudied by the scientific community at large. Now the author, both a scientist and a superhero, has revealed to us how to harness the energy of the body to develop a “sixth sense”, how to increase strength, and how to fly…

    "Scattered throughout are candid insights into the lives of those individuals who can use ki and have so far gone uncredited in saving the planet, serving as an enthralling reframing of the modern history of Earth and beyond. The revelations in this guide will trigger a paradigm shift across all of science and society at large, which we are sure will echo for years to come."

    Summary

    Despite what everyone around him believed, Izuku did have a quirk.
    A quirk which convinced people he was quirkless.
    Yeah.
    So when he was offered the chance to inherit All Might’s quirk, Izuku believed that he could finally be the hero that he'd always wanted to be.
    Nothing in Izuku's life could be that simple.
    (Previously titled "no quirk")

    Summary

    Even to his nakama, Luffy sometimes appears just a little bit too odd.

    Summary

    Izuku's quirk wasn't the flashiest... and it kind of screwed him over, more often than not. But even so... he would use Gambler's Fallacy to become the world's greatest hero!

    Summary

    A short piece on Clark Kent, effective altruist. This is either incomplete or complete but open-ended, and either way, I don't intend to add more to it, though I'm sure I could if I had a gun pressed to my head. This has been sitting in my drafts folder for a long time, and after reading it over a few times, I haven't found any sufficiently satisfactory conclusion to it, in part because the central question appears to me to be unsolvable. Apologies for any misrepresentation of effective altruism, Superman canon, basic science, or economics.
