"Gambling with cards is an obvious field."
financial goals would not rank high. If I could remember every single thing I see, I would rather become a lawyer or a doctor where I would be able to have a much higher advantage over others and that would automatically solve any financial problems. If I had a superpower, I would use it to help people as a career path because gambling would get boring real soon as the money aspect of it would just disappear in a week or so (assuming any place allows you in twice).
This is like the one where people who win the lottery become happy for a very short time but very soon after that they either go back their baseline happiness or worse, become depressed.
- 6510 3y agoThe point of a bad memory is to forget, it seems to me lawyers and doctors run into a lot of forget-worthy situations. Running a (perhaps specialized) bookstore seems more fun.
- jamestimmins 3y ago"The point of a bad memory is to forget" This is an interesting framing of the question. As someone with a bad memory, I definitely like the idea that it's not entirely a weakness.
- astrange 3y agoIt doesn't really seem to me that this would be beneficial for lawyers. The most important skill for a lawyer is the same as any other business owner - the skill of getting people to give you money. Nothing else really matters, not even winning. As long as you don't steal from your clients.
