The ability to always recall everything my senses perceive at any given time and any knowledge I learn.

Your life would be unbearable.

The bearableness of something is dependent on the strength of character of the individual. Besides, isn't life already exactly that?

Strength of character? What?

Think hard about what perfect recall would really mean. Just think it through.

I also notice that you want perfect recall of everything "your senses perceive". Leaving aside the psychological trauma, you do realize that would leave you in constant pain?

I guess I should clarify, the ability to recall it would be on my command. I would be sitting in calc class, and think to myself "what did I learn about finding the volume of a parallelepiped." and then, my mind would remember the class I had 3 weeks ago when we covered it and I would remember how it was done.

Does that somehow make life unbearable?

What if you don't remember what it is that you need to remember?

I would want the power to see past future and present at once, kinda like the observers from fringe.

Soviet Union is the best, bar none, both in the superpower and superpower kind of way.

Let's face it:

1) Half the world obeys you
2) The other half fears you

Flight? Pfff, I can fly wherever I want. Time control? Stupid, I want control in my time not control of the time. Invincibility? Check. Invisibility? Why, I'd do whatever I want anyway...
