Current Events > 10 billion, or the power to instantly know these 10 trades.

(+) Yeah! (+)

With the power you will instantly know the knowledge of these 10 random trades. You will have all the current,past and future knowledge of each trade.

1. Video Game Designing
2. Auto Mechanic
3. Astronomy
4. Writing
5. Culinary Arts
6. Black Smithing
7. Mixed Martial Arts
8. Geography
9. Spanish/ Sign Language interpreter
10. Science

I'd probably take all these trades.

Again I'd pick the money. Sure you could in theory make more using the knowledge of all those trades but it requires you to find a way to make something out of it and to actually do it. I doubt you'd hit $10 billion that quickly, and if you took the cash now, you could do alot more with it.

This.

ps. Re-reading your list (not that it would change my answer) but... Geography? Science? Those aren't really trades... and some of the others actually have somewhat limited income earning potential in the current landscape.

I dunno, knowing all past, present, and future science seems broken.

I guess if you knew all the answers to every potential question that's useful, but can you monetize it in a way which improves your life? Or would you just be constantly dealing with the issues which come with being a prophet?

Money
---

That's so freaking much money that it would take a shitload more than that for me to remotely consider anything else.

Money, please.
---

With that much money why would I need any of those? I could hire the best people in their field for like 1% of that

---

I'd take the skills. You could do some super rad stuff with it.

Plus, I don't need 10 billion. Too much money. I'd probably turn into a prick.

Right. Im pretty sure this means I can cure almost anything. So many scientific problems will eventually be solved. I have the knowledge right now. Even if I didnt try to make money off of it, the advances to humanity would be outstanding. And using just a fraction of this knowledge could make me billions with new tech innovations.
---

I mean by all knowledge, does that mean I am the best at them? I am now the best chef in the world?

Wait wait wait. I know all future science? And even though I only got the ability to use it practically in automobiles I would be able to get with an engineer and develop - warp drive, teleportation, Ray guns, time travel.

Im going to take the knowledge. Even with the throw aways.
---

You'd know future recipes, so you're making that deep fried marshmallow pizza pretzel right now, bro!

If you wanted to, you could make trillions. <_< You have all the science and the best writing to convince people to invest in your knowledge. >____>

10 billion, or-

Money.

---

Tempting but I gotta go with the money.

If you have $10B it really doesn't matter of you can get more. Meanwhile, none of these alone or even combined will necessarily get you much money.

And I mean, I get that money isn't everything but when you hate your job, the allure of retiring immediately is priceless.
---

<_<.

---

All the science?

Who needs money when I am now God King Doom?

Id take the power. Eventually with money Im gonna get bored and OD. At least with the skills Im constantly distracted. Though the former still sounds like a pretty fun ride.

Plus with the skills you know people respect you for something other than money, you can't buy that.
---

With that kind of money I'd have financial security for life

With the abilities, I'd still have financial security for life (just not an obscene amount of wealth), plus so much cool shit I'd be able to do with my life

going with Power
---

Knowledge is power.

Money. I can go on to learn all those, and enjoy the journey in doing so.
---

Lol I'll take the knowledge. I'd rather be remembered than have a bunch of money, since all of those skill sets can pretty much make you far richer than 10 billion.

Then do something with the money you would be remembered for lol

There is a limit to how much that much money can bring about. If you have the knowledge in all of those fields, you can create an enterprise far greater than measly 10 billion lol

The power is a ripoff anyway. You can only use it once.

I'm just saying, you can easily be remembered for having a bunch of money lol

These questions are goofy because people try to be so deep lol turning down free money is the dumbest thing you can ever do. Money is the ultimate problem solver

This is power easily.

Money past a certain point for me is pointless, and that threshold isn't very high compared to the amount given (I'd suffice with $10 million or less). I can make enough with the power alone and have the perks.

Skill. With all that knowledge, I can make a lot of money and help a lot of people.
---

Writing and science alone would be worth it
---

I'd go with the trades. I feel like I'd get more fulfillment out of knowing all of that than I would having the money.
---

The skills can for the most part be learnt, having the money would give me the time and security to [try to] learn things if I so wanted. A lot of them though are going to be useless for me, the fuck am I going to use Spanish for?? Why would I want to have a comprehensive knowledge of MMA or Geography?? The science obsessives I know are miserable fuckers.

The money would be vastly more useful for me. I'd build a fortress for chickens to live in, kick back and enjoy a peaceful life.
---

I shall use my Science to build humanities first faster than light spaceship! Oh, you want a ride? That'll be 10 billion.

This.

If you knew all the knowledge of science you wouldnt even need to make something out of it. Just get paid absurd amount to consult.

And thats only one of the 10.
---

It makes me kinda sad sometimes seeing how uninspired and dull most of CE is when answering these questions.

The obvious answer should be the knowledge. 10 billion is nothing compared to what you could make in just a few years with all of that comprehensive knowledge. Plus you could advance humanity's technology by thousands of years in the span of just one person's lifetime. Which, btw, you'd have the knowledge to extend.

What if after "or" it was 11 billion?

Honestly the power is easily worth over 10billion assuming we don't completely murder ourselves within like 10years time. If you have the knowledge of hundreds of years in the future you effectively have all the power in the world.

CosmicShadows posted...

You will have all the current,past and future knowledge of each trade.

Power is incredibly OP when coupled with generic "science." I think I'd take the power.

RedWhiteBlue posted...

The knowledge of 'science' effectively makes me God. Also future knowledge of these things makes you God.

So God or 10 billion.

I pick God.

I would be God too if it was that or $10 billion. Too bad "omnipotence" and "omnipresence" aren't trades.
---

astronomy is a science

and most those arent trades
---

Money for sure

The power is busted as hell in a lot of ways, but without any sort of actual credentials you'd have a surprisingly hard time actually getting started in any particular field because no one would have any reason to believe you weren't full of shit. I'd rather just take the easy way.

Money. I'll prob go insane knowing future science etc.

Only thing that beats 10 billion is some kind of op super power like invincibility or immortality etc.
