This PR addresses the philosophical question "Does Superman know how many people he had killed not knowing?" by creating a thorough psychological analysis examining the mental health implications of wielding immense power while potentially remaining unaware of collateral damage.

Key Changes

New Content: Superman Psychological Analysis

Created Superman_Unintended_Consequences_Psychology.md which explores:

  • Psychological Frameworks: Moral responsibility, cognitive dissonance, and the psychology of power
  • Three Awareness Scenarios: Analysis of Superman's potential conscious awareness, selective awareness, or unconscious suppression of unintended casualties
  • Clinical Implications: Potential diagnoses (moral injury, complex PTSD) and therapeutic approaches
  • Philosophical Considerations: Extended trolley problem and utilitarian vs. deontological ethics
  • Practical Applications: How these concepts apply to real-world first responders and decision-makers under pressure

The analysis concludes that whether Superman knows "the count" or not, both scenarios present significant psychological challenges requiring different coping mechanisms and support systems.

Bug Fix

Fixed a syntax error in God is the superpower.py where stray markdown syntax (```` ```) was causing Python compilation to fail.

Infrastructure

Added .gitignore to exclude Python build artifacts and cache files from the repository.

This content fits naturally within the repository's existing focus on psychological concepts, mental health, and the intersection of psychology with popular culture and philosophical questions.

Fixes #23.
