Self-motivation.
Oh boy yes
Computer science/programming. So I could hack the planet.
It’s going to be really slow since it only has one core
Counting cards at a casino
You would be disappointed to discover that they watch for this and will ask you to leave if they suspect anything.
Oh I know, but I’d get so good I’d somehow go undetected. Just let me fantasize! Lol
Then like asking a genie to grant me more wishes I’d take the money and become an expert in something else lol and it be a never ending wish scheme.
If this implies success in that field, I would choose financial investing.
Using a bit of those funds, I could go learn and become an expert in many fields and enjoy each one. If your not learnin’ you’re dyin’
Good choice!
Languages definitely. I want to be able to pick up new languages with ease
Good one. I’m studying Esperanto right now, because I watched a TedTalks vid where they said learning Esperanto (because it’s fairly easy to learn) teaches your brain to be bilingual. And that in turn, makes it much easier to start learning other languages.
Dankon, amiko!
Surgery.
Why? Because I’m a surgeon.
Now that sounds scar®y
Physics, all of it. It’s such an interesting fields and I’d love to understand all the new discoveries without an article dumbing it down for me.
Public speaking. You could get a lot of stuff done and fixed if you can convince people to do it. Doesn’t matter how good or smart you are if you can’t convince other people.
I want to be a renaissance painter
Don’t monkey pawn me
You’re burned at the stake by the church for your weird handheld light devicd
An existing field?
I mean, if not, I think that it’d be a pretty easy call to be one that nobody is in, preferably one from the future – now you have access to a bunch of unique and thus highly-valuable knowledge.
For me: Planetary science. We are making space discoveries every day. It’d be so cool to be in that room when that information comes across the computers and everyone discusses what the new discovery means.
I choose the skill of being able to open any food packaging (bacon, I’m specifically looking at you, here) quickly and easily without tools, weapons, or heavy machinery.
Now that you mention it, I need this skill as well!
This question made me realize that I could become an expert in anything I wanted at any time; there is nothing stopping me. I guess I’m just not interested.
Survivalist knowledge would be practical in emergency situations. You’d get things like first aid, nutrition, self-defense… Seems pretty broadly applicable.
e: Thought of something. I want to be an expert assassin. Really top grade action movie shit so I can kill whoever I want while maintaining safety, secrecy, and connections.
Music. Specifically woodwinds. Because I like them.
Probably carpentry. It’s highly relevant to what I do for a living. I have the tools and the physical abilities but there are big holes in my know-how
