Have you ever thought about that little speech they give when you get on the airplane and they say something like… “if we loose cabin pressure and the oxygen masks fall, put on YOUR oxygen mask first, then help those around you who need assistance…”

According to Doc (Mark Gregory Dockery - Founder of the Human Potential Index) making sure you’re in a safe(r) environment YOURSELF, is the best thing you can do for those within your reach to help, because you’ll be optimizing your personal “Human Potential” Index score, making you able to be a help to others in the first place. “Though money isn’t everything” says Doc, “We see Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne able to do what they do as mere ordinary Humans, because they’re rich. Again, not to say that money is what causes people to help or receive help, but in the comics and movies, their been rich is also a metaphor pointing toward the idea that prerequisite to being a superhero, one would need to have an abundance of some resource or empowerment, such that they could give so much of their resources toward helping those and the environment around them.” 

I mean… imagine Tony Stark with no underground bunker workshop! We’d have no Iron Man! Or Bruce Wayne with no Bat-Cave! We’d just have DC Comics’ prophecy of Elon Musk! Minus the rockets! 

So you see… YOU don’t want be that girl or guy who never reached their Human Potential, all because they wouldn’t take responsibility for their own environment.
