It's a good message? Having Godlike powers doesn't make you a better person. Being raised with empathy is important. Just because you're a dejected loser who wants to take it out on the world doesn't mean that Mob has to be. He wanted to be normal and learned how through his made friends and connections, without having to abuse his powers.

Saitama doesn’t feel particularly passionate about getting invested in most fights, but what that means for him is that he can find other things in life that mean more to him than that. Heroism is a hobby, he does it because he feels like it, he doesn’t want to center his entire life trying to get in good with people who may not understand him or place himself as a pillar of the community that everyone must heed or respect. However, once he saw that there are lower ranking heroes who have the same struggles that he does being stuck with an unfortunate unmarketable undesired name, a switch flipped inside of him. Saitama never asked to be Caped Baldy, but rather than it being a burden he held alone, it is something that he can be invested in, a goal to strive for that has conflict and resolution. Because of that, he has a renewed purpose to fight, and he high fives his new friends and punches with confidence, not because he’s fighting for personal gain or self-satisfaction, but because he has a new avenue to live his life

Mob is about not letting power get to your head and prevent you from living a normal life. Prevent being the key word. People who just lean on their power as a crutch and bully others with it can't have successful lives, thus Toichiro's wife left him, Serizawa was a nonfunctional NEET, etc.
The message isn't to suppress your talents and abilities and never use them, the entire character of Mob himself is a warning against that. It's not "don't use your psychic powers and go be a wagie" it's "don't focus only on your powers and ignore the other parts of your life." Also not so subtly, "don't be an asshole with your powers"

It's kind of similar but one of Gurren Lagann's themes is that your heroes aren't these perfect godly beings who are simply born like that. Kamina's cool attitude inspires those around him to do their best but he could only put on that brave face because he's surrounded by hardworking and reliable people he knows he can count on. Everyone strived to be Kamina when in reality Kamina could only be who he is when those around him had the courage to be themselves.

This is one few times where the core message of an anime was just straight up retarded. It tries to devalue the importance and value of power, even that same power is necessary to save everyone. I wish people didn't feel like they had to defend any dumbfuck message anime wants to spew.

Alot of people deny this criticism when even the author somewhat adresses it on the last season of the anime.
Mob gets run over by a car and his inner psychic goes on a rampage wrecking half the city because Mob refused to use his powers even to save his own life.
I'm guessing trying to sell the idea that; "If you have "super powers" why would you use them to make the world a worse place to live in?" is a hard question to ask without seemingly reprimending "super powers" in general.

Girls don't like the jock in high school because he won a medal or whatever, they like him because winning a medal at that age requires a level of discipline and maturity that sets them apart from their peers.
Even if YOU somehow got super powers and could win at life girls still wouldn't like you because your a immature autistic loser who can't self improve or understand the basic moral of a show for children.

It's wrong if the results don't align with a person's nature. If he wants to live a happy life and is, other than having some super power, normal, he wouldn't want to destroy the world just because he can. He's reliant on the mediocrity of life to fulfill his needs for him, because he's largely mediocre himself. There is nothing holding the species back other than the inherent inadequacy of being a social species with social needs.

This is also why a large majority of the 'comedy' you see in anime/manga is largely rooted in the correction and public shaming of improper social conduct, i.e., boke and tsukkomi/manzai routines. The tsukkomi has to explicitly point out the boke's errors EVERY SINGLE TIME (regardless if they are intentional or not), lest the boke run the risk of corrupting the impressionable audience and single-handedly destroying the shared social fabric of the nation through their unsanctioned ignorance and/or irreverence. TLDR; they think the audience is retarded.

Mob is about rounding out the rest of your life and not focusing only on your talents. The point of Mob humbling the other psychics is so they could realize that without it, they had nothing in life. It's supposed to be telling you that you'll reach a point where your talent can't solve your problems for you and you'll need other aspects of your life to pick up the slack. Pretty much every member of Claw in season 1 was a complete fucking loser aside from the fact that they were in Claw.

It's not about settling for mediocrity, it's about self improvement

ONE actually just wants you to understand the supermarket cashier is just as important as (you) are and has his own habits, hobbies, and talents that are not inherently inferior to yours. Being strong is nice, but so is being smart or courageous or kind or funny or trying your best even if you don't have much else going for you. Mob Psycho beats you over the head with this message so hard that Reigen outright says it just to make absolutely for sure you caught on.
The psychic powers are quite literally just a metaphor. Does being a piano prodigy obligate you to only ever play the piano? Even if they decide they fucking hate music and would rather do filler reports for some mid-tier company instead, it still wouldn't diminish their value as people. That's the point.
Everyone and anyone can help make the world a better place if they want to, they don't have to be some one-in-a-million Great Man. What are (you) doing to contribute?

They have a based, anti-elitist mindset. In the West they would be a celebrity that lives in a mansion and consorts with jews.

All of the main characters in this book are a bunch of silver-spooned faggots that think that because they say things like "Do it faster, dammit!" to their underlings means they're special and are the ones who actually make the world run. It's hilarious when people bring up this book because if you actually read it it undermines everything people says it proves by establishing that only in the most fictional, impossible world with the most improbable circumstances does anything Ayn Rand say make sense.
James Taggart and his government cronies are fun villains in their insane incompetence, though. I do enjoy reading it as a pulp novel every now and then.
