Our thoughts are mainly controlled by our subconscious, which is largely formed before the age of 6, and you cannot change the subconscious mind by just thinking about it.

He does have this particular skill, which I suppose you might call a really bad superpower because it's just not very helpful.

I never understood the low art/high art distinction. I think there's real currency in pop culture. We read trashy magazines as much as the next person.
