That's a very valid point. I think folks would much rather have Monica Dawson's version of Photographic Reflexes, than Taskmaster's version. That version would be an excellent choice; training for jobs would be vastly more efficient (since folks could master numerous different fields of work just by observing people who've already mastered those fields) and with everybody masterfully proficient in SOME field, the unemployment rate would drop to nearly nothing, in nearly every world economy. Though, a different one also struck me, that folks could use.
Empathy.
And I don't mean the most extreme, powerful kind. A few very specific conditions would exist to define my parameters for Empathy:
1) The user only detects true emotions (cannot be fooled by pretended emotion)
2) Only surface emotions may be felt (what emotion is CURRENTLY being felt)
3) Intense emotions may be detected without the user's conscious effort
4) Cannot turn power on/off at will, without intense training
5) Sensing an emotion is similar to experiencing said emotion
6) Cannot project intense emotions, to the point of influencing others
This, I think, would solve a lot of the world's problems.
