Ask HN: If you could learn anything, what would you learn?

• markus_zhang 5y ago
  Definitely Physics. Nothing better than getting a deeper understanding of the universe. Other candidate: Number Theory (jewel of the crown)

  To be happy, joyful, content, and at peace. (This isn't just wishful thinking - I am actually trying to learn this.)
  • gamechangr 5y ago
    Me too.. More specifically to be happy and content when life throws you a curve ball. Perspective matters

  How to pick up girls.
  • GDC7 5y ago
    You'll never learn how to do that, nobody ever does. Those who are successful are just good at trying many times as the conversion ratio is very low. So the answer to that would be: Want to learn how to pickup girls? Learn on how to be unfazed by failure

    So I was looking through the list of recent comments and saw this one. And immediately below it, almost like a reply, was "Disable JS by default." Not sure it will actually work, but I thought it was funny...

      So I can be a Hacker News superstar not based on people reading my comments on the discussion page but on the /comments page. I never thought of that!
