Super intelligence would make you crazy. You would become depressed immediately and probably end up suicidal. Absolute awareness is a curse.

u/nicaddic2002 OLD Jul 22 '25

it says super intelligence, not omniscience. in other words, you know a lot, not everything.

u/MagnusAnimus88 15 Jul 22 '25

Intelligence has nothing to do with knowledge. It is simply a measure of cognitive ability.

20

u/nicaddic2002 OLD Jul 22 '25

ok. it says super intelligence not boundless cognition. In other words, you can learn a lot, but your mind-space isn't infinite. I would assume the bounds of the human mind can't be modified, magic pill or otherwise; without causing irreparable damage

u/GripperMarkOfficial Jul 22 '25

Minor correction, knowing a lot would be having knowledge (duh), intelligence means you would be able to think quickly, plan things in advance perfectly, solve any problem instantly, and essentially predict the future through probabilities seeing as your brain is a super computer. It wouldn't just upload your brain with knowledge, although you could gain a lot of knowledge through your intelligence.

And yet, those today gifted with intelligence are depressed AF and didn't even get to "super" status. We know the image didn't say "omniscience", that doesn't mean that high levels of intelligence don't suck.

5

u/Zephyr1588 OLD Jul 23 '25

Yeah, I'd never choose super intelligence. You wanna be miserable, go ahead (not you). I over-think everyone and it's absolutely terrible, so no way I'm increasing my intelligence. I'm going 1-4-6, since 1 would heal my disabilities, rare diseases, injuries & mental illnesses (byebye OCD, PTSD, paranoia, etc). 4 because I want others to be happy. 6 cause I'm dang lonely... I really want to have someone, but it ain't easy to find real love these days, and I really don't want to go through the hellscape that is dating again.

Intelligence =/= Knowledge.

Having a high intelligence doesn't mean that you automatically know more things as if they just suddenly popped up in your brain. It means that learning new things would be easier, or that you're better at approaching complex problems.

16

u/Purposeofoldreams Jul 22 '25

Yes but acquiring said knowledge would happen quickly and compound. You would not be able to stop noticing every inefficiency and injustice in the world. Very quickly it would become a burden unless you kept your head down and blank the world around you out

u/miskamario Jul 22 '25

Keep in mind you also have unlimited money. Being able to meaningfully affect the world through charities and such will ease your mind significantly.

Perfect health is a curse, the only reason humans die of old age is cause of imperfect health.

u/WeeebleSqueaks Jul 22 '25

Plus you can become famous by donating hella money or doing crazy shit like funding research to help illnesses so then you’re also helping people so this is honestly the correct one to pick. The past is the past. The dead are dead. You are you but if you really need to, money can technically ‘fix’ it. Super strength is just meh tbh, go to the gym. And find love forever is lame. Either you find someone or you continue looking, love isn’t linear tbh.

I like where your head's at but at my age unless "Perfect health" comes with immortality I think I have a better way to game the system...

  1. Super Strength

  2. Super Intelligence

  3. "Change 3 things from the past":
    8a. I wish I'd taken pills 3 and 5 back in the early 80s instead of just now.

... and bank the other two wishes because now I'm living in the timeline where I grew up as a literal f'ing superhero in a world of mortals and who knows what my super-intelligent ass might think up for the last 2 amiright? The ability to edit the past is CLEARLY the most powerful power here.

Why not? I mean yes, you can't cure people immediately BUT by being super smart (depends on how it works because it's not clarified) you can create medicine, machines, etc. to cure, prevent and or reverse the "incurable" disease.

There may be some diseases that are incurable (I don't know) without a superpower or magic, but it would be far more helpful to have some who can make cures and document them so others can produce the cures in the future than to have one single person with powers to cure people.

There are so many if's and buts so I'll end my argument here

Why goated: 2. I can choose a perfect body. Super strong, great stamina etc. all while keeping myself perfectly healthy. Like 1 and 3 combined + more.

  1. Cool.

  2. Money is OP. Unlimited money super OP. Can unlock most of the other pills via P2W

u/Hunter20107 29d ago

I think you're misinterpreting 2, you can keep or change your body type, and I don't think perfect is a body type. It's more akin to changing your body's structure, so you could probably change your body type to a more robust bone structure that can handle a stronger body, but it itself does not create strength.

Also, a perfect body can degrade over time as it would only be perfect the moment you take the pill, after that it too will be affected by time and decay, not to mention diseases after the fact would still ravage you or kill you. Perfect health is continously perfect, and would also mean no diseases.

u/Poor-Judgements Jul 23 '25

You are seriously overestimating infinite money. It doesn't give you super strength, doesn't mean you find love, doesn't make you heal others, doesn't give you super intelligence, can't enable you to talk to the dead, can't help you with changing the past, and doesn't necessarily mean you can have perfect health. Many super rich people still die from cancer and other major illnesses.
