Invisable or able to fly.

Given a choice of between being able to make yourself invisable at will, or able to fly, which one would you choose?

Invisible

VS.

Able to fly.

Side Score: 2

Of the two, I'd tend towards invisibility, so long as it was functional invisibility. While I might not be able to have the same degree of freedom as with flight, practically speaking most places I would want to fly to I could stow away on a private or commercial flight via my invisibility.

It's also true that flight could be used to make a more or less invisible approach, given the difficulty in spotting a human sized object at a sufficient altitude, but I believe functional invisibility would allow more opportunities than flight would.

This all of course assumes "functional invisibility;" if this is one of those things where I'm invisible but I'm blind because the retinas of my eyes are invisible and dont obstruct light or react with it, I'd have to think about it more. Might still be worth it in some cases.

Thousandin1, Definitely 'functional invisibility'' with all your facilities in full working order. I find the prospect of such a state to be extremely exciting and tremendously rewarding. The world really would be your oyster in almost every way imaginable. In fact I must dig out my old ''chemistry set for advanced experiments'', from the attic and start working on the project of ''functional invisibility'' immediately. If you get a tap on the shoulder from someone you cannot see you'll know that I've made it.

Was that you just now, or do I need to see a doctor?

Travel for free. Have a great view. Do high pay jobs with none of the risk. Compared to staying put not being noticed I'd say there's no question.

Side: Able to fly.

Flying would be way more fun. Invisible would be great for self defense. However, maintaining my sense of honor in the midst of all the tempting things one could do with invisibility would be excruciating.

Side: Able to fly.
