What we're talking about is the ability to fly without equipment and land as easily as taking a step, like a superhero. If I could do that, I could spend foggy mornings hovering above banks, waiting for the armored cars to come along and handle sacks of cash, without ever looking up...
That'd be the life... I'd work when I wanted to, make great money, have fun, bring gossip back to you bitches, and I wouldn't even have to put up with rush hour traffic to get to my job!
Money, unless I would could be invisible while flying.
Once people notice, the government will get involved, you would become world famous,but not in a good way.
Religious people would think you are a πΌ or π.
A better then fair chance that you would be assassinated within 5 years by some nut.
I will take the money.
The John Travolta movie 'Phenomenon', is a good one to watch when someone with radically different abilities appears, and human reaction to that person.
I would take flight. Then I would convince people that my ability to fly was a gift from God, become a new prophet, start a religion, and get filthy rich.
The ability to fly opens up a shit load more opportunities than just taking the money. Flying would also open up just many possibilties of problems as having a lot of money...but I'll fly over that imaginary bridge when I fly over it.
