Probably the ability to not be an unbalanced idiot 24/7. I literally fell up the stairs twice this week. There are few people who are less scatter-brained than me.
Have you tried to engage your core more? edit: Sorry in advance for the reddit link, but here you go https://old.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/1h4j9sl/tifu_by_never_using_my_core_muscles_for_thirty/
I appreciate the concern, but my problem is more on my ability to concentrate on what's in front of me. I'll be walking around or climbing up stairs while my brain is in la la land thinking about something else. That's normally how I end up clutzing out.
The logic in your post is sound though, I never did think about my core.
But I do work out and I do core workouts alongside arm day and leg day. If anything my core is the thing I'm strongest in.
Have you been assessed for add/adhd
I've been diagnosed since I was 7 lol. Glad you noticed.
Ah damn well
I hope something new comes up about it. Good luck :c
It doesn't cause me problems. I get by just fine.
Here's a fun fact for you: ADD is not an official classification anymore.
You're either ADHD Hyperactive or ADHD inattentive. I'm diagnosed with the latter.
Unlimited energy reserves would be nice. If I had half the energy I had when I was 16 I'd be fucking golden
Universal language module. Not to translate all into English but to understand all of them.
You're now a protocol droid.
Ok I think - except that I am absolute shit at protocol so now I'm gonna get someone killed.
Just put this fish in your ear.
Big dick energy
Ability to complete a household project with only 1 trip to the hardware store.
When I was driving instacart between jobs or what not I had one for just that. Pick up 4 items from Lowes. Called them and she said they just left there and weren't going back, haha
Impossible... that would break some fundamental law of physics or something

I want the entirety of mathematics indellably etched into my mental model. I want to see the math behind everything in reality the way Neo saw the matrix code in the walls of the grubby apartment buildings.
What if that just drives you insane due to the problem described by Gödel's incompleteness theorem? Maybe you'd become susceptible to someone telling you "this statement is false".
Ideally, I wouldn't have to see the proofs for everything, just recognize the observable math.
The problem with the "This statement is false" could simply be coupled by something akin to imaginary numbers. Paradoxes can be described mathematically without being solvable.
Oh, brother, no. Godel's incompleteness theorem is a problem much bigger than imaginary numbers. Imaginary numbers are just something we initially didn't account for but we can (and did) fix. Godel's theorem means everything may just be broken and we just don't know.
And when you discover that free will is an illusion because of deterministic patterns, what will you do then?
Honestly finding out the lack of free will exists would be the most liberating thing ever. I could just let autopilot take its course.
Whatever it is physics demands they do, obviously.
11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.

I would immediately download more RAM. No hax. Really works.
