Red lets you know all the POSSIBLE consequences of some facts or axioms; not which of the possibilities will actually be true. There are a lot of problems in science and general life where a lack of data means no amount of logic can provide a conclusive answer.

Therefore, if you don't choose green then you're a faggot.

The other problem with red is that you'd become overloaded with possibilities. Thinking about consequences of consequences. It'd lead to a combinatorial explosion.

Red makes blue and yellow pretty much obsolete, at least as a mathematician.
Since red would essentially mean you could produce hundreds of highly advanced results in literally no time, you'd gain fame and money, too.
Since I'm already decent looking, it's a no brainer to decide between red and green.

Since you have normal attention, speed, memory and mental flexibility, you just will solve tiny problems.

I know that red is impossible as it is stated, hence "hundreds of highly advanced results". I was assuming that this hypothetical option comes close to what is described in OPs picture, but I'm not being a pompous dick about this flaw. Something you should try out, aspie cunt.

>> No.4406830

I don't understand how red would work in practice. Wouldn't you often generate too many outcomes to process or for the human mind to consider over a short period of time?

Blue is too limiting. Choosing anything other than problem solving means you become of average intelligence. unnacceptable. And choosing unliited problemsolving limits your speed, attention and memory to normal which would be undesirable.

I think green would be the best, provided you bend the rules a little like say:

Yellow:
I solve the problem of crystallizing membrane bound proteins and use this discovery to map out the protein structures of UGT enzymes, protein kinases, opioid receptors etc.

I win the Nobel prize, get numerous papers published in Nature and other high caliber journals, get my PhD awarded ahead of time, become a tenured research fellow and spend the rest of my life having my work cited by papers in the areas of in silico modelling, medicinal chemistry, metabolomics etc.

Basically, if I got that discovery I'd be set for life and it wouldn't matter if I never did anything interesting again.

The observer sounds like it would suck. Cheater...I dunno. If you're stuck in a single universe you would begin to lust after others example: You go into star trek, you explore it all, you want to go to star wars, can't. So I guess the dreamer would be the best.

Red is the most powerful and makes the others obsolete in most cases. However, it would also make life boring as nothing would ever be a surprise to you and I think knowing every possible consequence all the time would slowly drive you insane. For this reason, I would chose blue and get unlimited problem solving capacity.

My mind already works pretty much like a realistic form of RED. My ability to linearly analyze systems logically from their principles is probably my single biggest intellectual strength. As a kid,one of my nicknames was "dream crusher" (lol) due to my ability to predict the inevitably stupid outcome of childish ideas. And just like the RED option, you can only have some axioms, but never all, so there is only so far ahead that one can see with any reasonable degree of accuracy. (i dont think i need to tell you that the further away and more complex an event you try to predict, the lower the accuracy, as more unforeseen variables are included... blah blah blah, im sure there's some interesting chaos theory behind that).

Being in med school, im tempted to take BLUE (memory), but not with having to sacrifice other abilities. I'd definitively have to go with GREEN. Unlimited money or unlimited social influence alone would almost be worth it, but both is an easy choice. Pic related. And unlimited money and charisma sounds like the most world-changing option in my mind, much more likely to immortalize your name than a single Nobel or even a lifetime of scientific achievement.

Green allows you to divine the secrets of the universe.

You can use the non-fiction ban to fact check any study before it happens.

Thanks for the free psychotherapy, internet. I'm glad one post was all you needed to figure me out.

Well, first, I used the term kid as reference to my age being 8-13, and, second, past tense to denote something that happened in the past. I've since learned well enough to go ahead and stand back when someone has a stupid idea. Most people don't like to be corrected, even if they are wrong. On the other hand, I'm certainly not always right, and I realize the cognitive fallacies we have towards our own capabilities, so I try to accept such correction from others with gratitude.

Except you can prove to nobody that the option that is true, is in fact true. Must be frustrating to know the truth, but to be unable to convince anyone of it.

I'll have red please. For every decision problem in life, I introduce a temporary axiom based on a possible answer, if I can derive false (which I instantly can), then that's a wrong answer.
I'll just take up the axiom that higgs bosons are real. I'll instantly know if I can derive falsehood, and therefore, whether higgs bosons are real WITH a proof. Also, horse-betting made easy: "x will win".
