Computer science/programming. So I could hack the planet.
Counting cards at a casino
You would be disappointed to discover that they watch for this and will ask you to leave if they suspect anything.
Public speaking. You could get a lot of stuff done and fixed if you can convince people to do it. Doesn’t matter how good or smart you are if you can’t convince other people.
Probably carpentry. It’s highly relevant to what I do for a living. I have the tools and the physical abilities but there are big holes in my know-how
Surgery.
Why? Because I’m a surgeon.
Now that sounds scar®y
This question made me realize that I could become an expert in anything I wanted at any time; there is nothing stopping me. I guess I’m just not interested.
Survivalist knowledge would be practical in emergency situations. You’d get things like first aid, nutrition, self-defense… Seems pretty broadly applicable.
e: Thought of something. I want to be an expert assassin. Really top grade action movie shit so I can kill whoever I want while maintaining safety, secrecy, and connections.
Physics, all of it. It’s such an interesting fields and I’d love to understand all the new discoveries without an article dumbing it down for me.
Mechanical Engineering. Firstly because I am already studying it, but it’s also a super broad field, so if I’m an expert in all of it, I’ve just become an expert in like a dozen different fields.
Aerospace, biomedical, materials science, robotics, mechatronics, fluid dynamics, dynamic systems & controls, nuclear energy and all the other energy production types like fusion, even some branches in quantum computing and weird physics like Alcubierre drives.
Sure maybe it’s limited to the extent of where those fields are now, but I basically just became an expert in all of human technology.
Survivalist. Because, headlines.
Languages definitely. I want to be able to pick up new languages with ease
Maybe competitive fighting video games for fun. My job doesn’t really let me focus on video games
Judo. bc it’s freakin’ cool, but I’m at an age where just doing the warm-up drills are too much for me.
Music. Specifically woodwinds. Because I like them.
An existing field?
I mean, if not, I think that it’d be a pretty easy call to be one that nobody is in, preferably one from the future – now you have access to a bunch of unique and thus highly-valuable knowledge.
For me: Planetary science. We are making space discoveries every day. It’d be so cool to be in that room when that information comes across the computers and everyone discusses what the new discovery means.
