Guitar sounds fun
Speaking Korean, I live here for 4 years already and despite pushing moderatelly to learn it, I don’t speak it at all. Everything I learn I forget very fast again.
I’d upload a few languages. Instantly being able to speak and read an array of languages and traveling the world would be fun.

Time travel
You’d need both time travel and teleportation, or else you’ll find yourself in space when you travel forward or back in time. The Earth isn’t a stationary object
Nothing is or everything is. There is no absolute motion.
Yes there is, you just can’t measure it.
it’s all relative. definitively relative.
that said, if you go to the matrix and ask for the power, it’s not liable to give you half-assed solutions that don’t take the details into account. Therefore it would already take into account the relative displacement and correct accordingly.
This assumes an absolute reference frame, which does not exist in this universe.
Time (and relative dimension in space) travel
Time travel already is teleportation.
Actually, teleportation would be more powerful than time travel, since you can travel through different times as well with teleportation as an ability, but you can only teleport to a different time with time travel.
Ability to play the guitar like Gilmour, EVH, Page and Hendrix.
If I could have something magical: I’d like to be able to accelerate my thinking so I can have as long as I want to think things through
If it’s gotta be real: easier to use memory, I feel like I have no idea what’s going on bc I forget shit, but it’s not forgotten I just didn’t remember that memory at the right time even though I had it…
Talking to people hasn’t been going well lately
Following your lead: mystical/magical healing abilities, for self and others. Mundane, photographic memory.
C2-niveau francais, s’il vous plait.
edit or as translate google would put it: niveau C2 de francais, merci.
Whatever skills would result in what the deep mediators to control autonomic functions like heartrate and could mimic death. I don’t just want the control thing though I want the whole kit that comes with it which would likely have some martial arts. figure like and ideal shaolin type of thing.
Medicine. If I could get an upload to make me an instant doctor, that would be amazing.
If I had that technology, I would upload everything available on file. The common fictional notion that you could “fill up” your brain is wrong.
Soooo… you think the brain has unlimited data storage capacity?
The plasticity of the brain also gives it near unlimited storage capacity. There’s a great episode of Curiosity on what obstacles would have to overcome to achieve immortality, and one of the topics it goes into detail on is brain capacity and functionality.
Like Lucy? Without the self destruction that comes with that scenario, absolutely!
you will need to give me a bit more. the only movie I can think of had a chick with telekinesis and shit.
Telekinesis, telepathy, time travel, no pain. That’s the movie.
just to be clear when we say unlimited we are saying infinite. I do not believe for one second it has near unlimited/infinite storage in an incredibly limited volume.
There are different types of infinite. I don’t get the idea that Kolanaki means more than the brain could handle.
There is only one type I know of. What are the different types?
Lots and lots and lots. You can find a ton of great information on it, but I’ll leave this historical explanation for you as a primer:
And another short video, because it helps to see different explanations of math:
ok I think its clear he meant storing an infinity amount of information with “gives it near unlimited storage capacity.” Its clearly not an infinite splicing of a finite type of thing. It seems to be the more common usage of infinite. Honestly I would argue its really not a different type in that the set is finite but the subdivisions are not and ifinite is only refering to the infinte part so storing a value for every infinte cut takes infinite storeage. He is responding to the idea that all knowledge we have now and all future knowledge could be put into the brain ala mastering skills like kung fu.
I moderate amount of control of my mental health
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.
This would be a pretty dope tv show for about a season.
I’ve thought about that a lot. If I won a near bn or more lottery, could I stay grounded enough, after hiring a reputable financial planner, to found a Montessori school of high global academic standards or free health clinic, including pharmacy, that includes plant medicines, organic foods diets, where appropriate, and/or a smaller side project or two? Or would I be irresponsible and do an Elvis-type thing for my primary caregiver and for my child that’s still in my life, rather than set them up with a trust, so they would be able to be truly financially independent, should their spouse pass before them? It’s easy to think the best of ourselves until the moment of truth arrives. I’d hope I’d be financially responsible, hire the planner, give to my community in a meaningful, probably anonymous way (because of sudden best friends clamoring for Fendi bags and Lambos), and buy myself an old Volvo or Audi, dependable and unostentatious.
I can’t reasonably spend more than like 100m, including giving millions to friends and family. Like what the fuck would I even buy? I could buy 4 lambos and 2 houses for every friend I have and every family member I talk to and barely make a dent.
Probably just donate it to whatever the best charities are for a variety of things.
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.
The upgrade is get a good therapist, and that can be trickier, more or less depending on your place of residence. Someone who can help you gather new tools and the skills to apply them. I wish you the best.
This is an issue CBT (not that one) can help with.
Download more RAM. My working memory is shit (ADHD).
I thought the issue there was the processor not being able to run a single core long enough.
Or maybe it’s just how the operating system works?
Have you tried Linux? I use Arch btw.
You will just be more (less?) Efficient and being efficient.
I might be a little obsessed with efficiency. Possibly due to my issues making me inefficient by nature, I tend to seek efficiency wherever I can, like some mirage in the desert of my mind.
Did I write this comment? I used to think I just did my best to deliberately waste as little time as possible to balance out all the time I waste involuntarily. Now I realize that I just can’t tolerate being idle, so the moment I initiate some automated process that will take more than a few seconds to complete, I start yet another task while waiting. This looks a hell of a lot more efficient on paper than it does in reality, though…
