I'd say you could be a billionaire if invisible. Time travel the timeline will change and a bet may lose
Good point, although it won't change if you don't get involved with the flow of life that is already suppose to happen, which is not 100% avoidable kind of risky actually.

Read Minds - 👎 I can already guess what people think of me without that ability - I wouldn’t want it verified. I’m too delicate, and my ego couldn’t take it.

Invisible - 👎 Might be fun for a while, but would eventually get boring. Plus, wouldn’t you have to be naked like Kevin Bacon in ‘Hollow Man’?!?! Pass…..

Teleport - 👎 Funny, after every vacation, the wife and I are always like, “We’re SO glad to finally be home!” Plus, everybody hates Americans and America anyways - feel safer at home.

But time travel?!?! Seems more interesting about the people you could talk to, events you could possibly help stop, could make a bunch of $$$$.

👍 Yep, that’s it, time travel.

I like all the short explanations on every pill, Malted.

There would be challenges with time travel

If you go back in time you have to find a way to convince ppl you are telling the truth

And even if you explain in detail all of the technology to come, you would likely need the knowledge to prove it by building & showing them first hand

As for warning of bad things to come, the same thing applies in getting them to believe you.
And then you have to worry about if changing history truly has its consequences

Got to agree with Malted’s take on the first 3

But time travel - the unattended effect (change one thing and as a result others take different actions and changes the outcomes) - plus the money making aspect - as we know in our market to make money, someone else has to LOSE money. I/E - I buy 90% of Apple from Steve Jobs in the early 80s - maybe Jobs drops out of site - becomes a hippie and never returns in 1988. He has nothing to prove - has no need to show the world they had it wrong and they never achieve domination of the personal product market they hold today thanks to lessons learned from the Newton in the late 80s under him.

I realize no pick your own option here - but I’ll make one up anyway. Cure cancer - specifically childhood cancer. It sucks - but when someone who has lived a laugh dies - we knew that our time was limited from the go and nothing is guaranteed. At the same time - a kid dealing with this shit is just not acceptable. I don’t care if the kid grows up to be some psychopath who takes a pot shot at a presidential candidate from a warehouse roof - no one should have to live with a terminal disease that young and no family should have to deal with it either.
