Once upon a time there lived a man who could do anything. He was sat on a rock when a small child approached him. "Can you do anything?" said the child, inquisitively. "Of course I can child" said the man, "for I am the man who can do anything". "Can you create a rock so heavy that you cannot lift it?" Asked the child. "Yes" said the man "didn't you hear? I am the man who can do anything".
The man created a rock that was so heavy that he couldn't lift it. Impressed with his own work, the man said "you see child, look at that rock. I cannot lift it, it is huge". The child then asked "Can you lift the rock?" "Yes" said the man, "obviously, I can lift the rock, I can do anything". The man then lifted the rock with ease. The boy looked confused, but the man stopped him, saying "don't be confused child, just blindly except it, push logic to one side, for logic cannot do anything. And if something doesn't seem right, just come up with a supernatural resolution to the problem and pretend that there is no problem after all, then you will see that you too can do anything."
And so, the child became a psychic. Performing the impossible and charging people by the hour to give them hope. After all, this is what the man who could do anything taught him. Ethics don't matter when you are the man who can do anything.
The end.
