That’s the reason why I am choosing the ring. I can’t honestly justify the implications of having the ability to time travel, and what changing the future would mean for humanity as a whole. Even if I am staying within my timeline, can I justify having the ability to change awfully things and not doing it?
Knowledge please. Better yet, also intent of books so that all motivational and social skill books knowledge would be mine. Otherwise, having knowledge about all things is great, but being able to apply them is another matter
I mean the van can still teleport places without time. That in itself is pretty powerful. No need to travel time. You could also first travel to a remote place and then travel in time for minimized impact.
But the ring of course is also extremely nice. Question i have is, would you start to forget the informations gained thorugh the ring or would it work like a magical brain library, preserving the stored information and being endless?
I was torn between both but i would take the van. While knowledge could make me smart, rich and powerful, there are just so many places i would like to see. The van probably also fits more than one person, so i can take friends along.
Good point. But it still are the moral implications of having the ability to travel through time, that would concern me personally. If I have the ability to do (supposedly) good, and deliberately not choosing so, i couldn’t have peace of mind anymore
Van. I can read a book, killing baby Hitler (or equivalent) is another thing.
A reasonable proportion of the paper books I meet are full of fluffy crap, anyway.
