    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.

      This is a good one. I interact with a lot of East and South Asians in my spare time, and I would love to speak all of their languages. Especially since their English is not the best (in my circle, that is).

      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

            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.

        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.

    I want the entirety of mathematics indellably etched into my mental model. I want to see the math behind everything in reality the way Neo saw the matrix code in the walls of the grubby apartment buildings.

      One way is making raytracing shaders for older games. I recall one korean dude whose patreon was raking in ~50k dollars a month, several of his releases/posts were about adding raytracing to Fallout 4

        Thanks! Sounds like a significant learning curve.

        Not that I’m opposed. Currently reskilling myself from bored accountant to hopefully some sort of IT wizard. Just learning everything I can get my hands on and doing projects like building / maintaining a home server, building a PC, switched to Linux last year, and coding some small projects in Python.

        I just feel like I’m learning such basic things and won’t be able to actually make money with any of this for years. It’s frustrating lol

    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

    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.

        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.

          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.

                  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.
