    I want to understand, intrinsically, and be able to manipulate to my liking, all the financial systems of the world.

    At worst, I’d quickly become a well-paid accountant. At best, I’d become an extremely talented, untraceable, modern Robin Hood.

    The ability to deal with the rush and then persistence of negative feeling whenever anything bad happens, my routine is thrown off, or even I have to do something I’d rather not, because I do not cope well with any of those, and it causes me to shut down.

    The usual advice is to “bury it”, “hold it” or “suck it up” for some unspecified later time, but that was basically my old coping mechanism and It Does Not Work™ any more.

    So I’d like the upgraded version of that. Whatever it is. Preferably a version that won’t break or occasionally malfunction (we call those “Warning signs”, kids) like the original one did.

    Is Charisma an uploadable skill? If so, I’d love to upload the entire library to displace my Charisn’tma.

      Sounds like you need to download pretty much everything ever written on mathematics, physics, biology, and medicine. That info dump would also have to include a bunch of stuff that hasn’t even been invented yet, and probably won’t be within the next 500 years.

      Once you have all that in your mind, you’ll be incredibly frustrated that modern day technology is at least 500 years away from what you actually need. You would need to build a bunch of quantum electronics fabrication factories so that you can build the real factories that actually produce the machines you need for assembling the very first brain reading and recording machine.

      Although, since you have all that revolutionary science and tech in your head, you should use that to fix global warming, world hunger, cancer and a bunch of other stuff so that you can raise the trillions of capital needed for building the main project.

    Playing the piano, or just singing at a professional level. Would be amazing to know, but takes years of constant practice and teaching to learn.

      Seconding Piano. I’m a reasonably decent guitarist, but there aren’t many everyday situations where this comes in handy unless you’re a professional musicians.

      However, Pianos are casually placed everywhere, intended for public use. Especially in airports for some reason. I would love to woo random people passing by by by flawlessly playing Hiromi Uehara or Jordan Rudess.

    Being able to feel joy/happiness. I really don’t understand or know what those things are but everyone says it’s wonderful and awesome. So It would be awesome to experience it at least once.

    Having a strong speech skill. I’ll have the silver tongue needed to talk and utilize etiquette to get what I need and want. Maybe even pick up someone too.

      Poke your hand until you hit the corner of a seam. Do the same with the other hand on an adjacent corner.

      Bring hands together so both corners touch.

      Now unfold the corner in one hand onto the other hand.

      Smooth it out. Repeat with the untouched corners.

      You can do it one more time or just fold from there

        You say that but when you put the four corners together you get a trapezoid or triangle instead of a square or rectangle. I’ve even watched videos and tried to copy but failed at this.

    being able to inspect/ appraise any item and get comprehensive details about it.

    it would be great to spot antiques and famous works from garage/ lawn sales.
