Poll of the Day > What would you want to be the best at?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Artist - You are unanimously considered the greatest artist of all arts, your worst stuff is still better than anyone else. greatest painter, sculptor, musician, Author, Movie/TV director, etc. You are the GOAT at all of them.

Businessman - Any business you start is guaranteed to succeed, you will have the love of the public and employees, making each new business more successful.

Athlete - You are the GOAT at any sport right away and are MVP every year, even if you decide to be a multisport athlete, you shatter every season record, and, if you play a few years, every career record as well.

Politician - You have super charisma and don't have to try hard to get votes, support for a bill, or make political allies on any level of government.

Scientist - You can find a cure for anything or Engineer anything you want, make a perpetual motion machine, cure cancer, find a way to travel faster than light, etc. but just because you know how to do something doesn't mean we have the technology at this time to actually do it.

Doctor - you are a medical genius and always manage to save your patient, regardless of what they have, even from death with a grace period of 1 hour after dying.

Professor - You master every part of academia, and know how to reach every student you have. You single handedly teach the cream of the crop of the next generation in whatever fields you choose.

That's a tough one, Politician you can make your country a better place(still might get wacked), Scientist you can make major advancements for the better of mankind but you don't know what other people would do with your research/inventions, same with Doctor, you could find the cure for like prostate cancer but some jackasses make it cost like 400,000 dollars or something.

Could also get greedy and be the best athlete and make millions of dollars :D

idk man, idk.

Considering that all of them ensure wealth and influence, it's a tough call. Politician or businessman would allow me to improve this nation, but I think I'd probably just go with artist because that's more fun.

---

I enjoy doing art, so I picked that one.

Might as well love what I'm great at.

Businessman and politician sound OP AF. No one is gonna oppose anything you do? Even if you become a monopoly?

Athlete sounds like it wouldn't last long. Body would probably be ravaged in a couple years.

Scientist sounds cool, but the general populace hates scientist and would be against anything you tried to do, prob. Then comes the government regulations and you probably can't get any funding.

Doctor and professor sound weak AF. You could very well end up teaching/saving very evil people.

Artist doesn't sound too bad. I'd probably pick that.

I would love to be a top athlete or artist. Artist seems to be a stronger choice in this case

---

Politician, easily. You can basically just become emperor of earth.

---

The selfish answer is easily Athelete as you still get money/influence etc, but also extreme health/fitness.

The un-selfish answer is politician so you can actually make the world a better place.

---

For artist is this based on your actual skill or how others interpret your work.

One of these days I'll be a great politician. Before then I need to earn a private fortune, my current ambition. Hopefully the left doesn't discard me because I'm rich, but the idea is they'll be so desperate that they'd like their own wild card.

My opponents will never see it coming, I've been arguing on internet forums my whole life.

Good thing is there's no age restriction, 70 year olds are out there owning the place.

Artist. I could make a lot for less work and stress.

---

Whatever it is, I want to do it like no one ever was.

I feel like expanding our space faring technology is becoming increasingly important as the world falls apart. Definitely a scientist.

That's arguably unrealistic. The best athletes may be extremely "fit" (for certain definitions of "fit", and depending on what sport you're playing), but they also usually sustain excessive injuries (in most sports) that are either going to leave you mostly crippled later in life, require dozens of reconstructive surgeries to try to fix everything wrong with you, or outright die much younger than average (in some sports).

A lot of the best athletes in various fields weren't necessarily healthy. And that's before you start factoring in lifestyle choices (like drugs) that might damage their health even more.

This is also arguably unrealistic, because "the best" politician is almost never the most moral politician, or the politician most capable of somehow forcing through positive change, but the politician most capable of being a politician (which means lying to constituents, playing political games, getting reelected in perpetuity, and then retiring and giving speaking tours for the rest of your life that leave you a multi-millionaire).

Doctor.

Being good enough at business pretty much gives me tons stuff from the other options. I can employ artists, doctors, and lobbyists, and reap a lot of the personal benefits. The only thing I might consider is scientist because the description given is crazy.

---

Artist and its not even close.

If I could spend the rest of my life writing and crafting stories in pretty much any medium I choose? That be great. But not just doing it, but pretty much being able to get it out there on a massive scale? Perfection.

If you know how to make anything, you know all the prerequisite stages, so the limit of technology is redundant.

You enter any college you wish with a unparalleled masters thesis and use your influence in the college to fund a groundbreaking technological advance to make a global reputation. Then you gain absolute faith of the people and governments to make any progression you see fit.

I would just want to be the very best that no one ever was.

Not really, what if you need something we don't have or don't have enough of? What if you found the mathematical formula for FTL travel but requires material/chemicals we don't have on earth?

Oh I didn't read that description closely. A writer isn't an artist though.

They create books.

Painters don't create art, they create paintings.
Musicians don't create art, they create music.

See how stupid that sounds?

"Art" is meaningless. Anything can be "art".
