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.

👍 That’s pretty deep, I was just thinking I would time travel to about 1996, kick my past self in the balls, and tell myself to load up on Amazon stock - yes, the bookstore!

The key would be to not get too greedy - just take 5-25% a bunch of great ideas others came up with buy in and look like a genius. Keep buying others great ideas with what you made on the last big score and be the modern day industrial robber barron capitalist. You know things everyone needs and uses and generate massive appeal to people across the world and tbjngs that are futuristic thinking kinda like PayPal, Tesla, space travel, boundless internet connectivity, Twitter….oh wait
