Would you rather be given 25 million €/$/£ taxfree or given a one-off chance to learn and understand the complete contents of a book of your choice, like magic from in 1 second?

I'd take the 25 million. Then I'd have a life time to learn whatever I want.
t. not a brainlet, can self learn. (heck, I could even pay for someone to teach me if the worst came to the worst)

Latter for money is not relevant to me.

Wtf is that pic?

Why is this even a question, except for providing the maths autists yet another opportunity to show off their pigheadedness?

Do I only understand the content of the book, or all information that are required to be theoretically able to understand the content, as well?

if it's just one book then I'll take the money
if it's as many books as I want then the latter

>print out wikipedia
>pick second option

What use would just a book have?

One is not possible without the other

And then what? It will have you achieve nothing bedsides maybe winning quiz shows.

I second.

it's also not possible to learn a book by magic you fucking dick

25mil$ is somewhere between 7-10 times the average lifetime expected earnings of a person with an advanced degree in a profitable STEM field. I'll cash out please.

Doesn't mean your learning capacities are unlimited.

T. Buzz killington

Put 25 mil in index funds with an average of 6-7% interest yearly. Withdraw 3% yearly so that inflation doesn't rape your fund. That's $750k your first year. Now you have a lifetime to learn assuming you're not a brainlet.

You would know all math and physics formulas and have in complete understanding of them.

Anybody who doesn't choose the money is incredibly retarded.
This is the real world, not Dragonlance; there are no arcane alchemical tomes full of earth-shaking knowledge here.
There's just textbooks and novels and technical manuals and other prosaic crap.

graphic design is my passion

I read this without touching it.

> I also eat symbols and speak signs.

Signs and symbols, m9...the key to the universe. Infinite in 1, 1 is all.

THAT'S knowledge, THAT'S power.

You won't know if that is the key to the universe, you don't even know what that means.. it doesn't even mean anything.

So if I pick durrett's probability book, then I'll automatically be as good as durrett himself? The choice is obvious.
>Biggest boss in probability
>any tenure track you want

Or you know just have 25 million dollars in your bank account and use Visa to pay for things. Unless of course you have experience in investing, a degree in business, willingness to work 40 hours a week to support your investment, and lots of contacts in the industries you've invested in.

Investing is just massive warfield and good choice is to stay out.

You're mistaking shortcuts for simplifications, pleb.

Shut up brainlet.
-Confucius

Wrong. Be more correct, please.

> Intuition+Education=Shortcuts

Quantum (((mechanics))) is completely bullshit. I can't sit through a video without saying "Wrong." over and over.

Look back, not (((forward))).

> Shortcut to infinity!

he might be smart but he says retarded things

I would pay some silly publisher $10,000 bucks to put together every major book on every major subject ever and then use the magic to understand that book

then i'd go be a consultant for the us federal government and make gorillions

What if it cost 25 million to put together the book?

The money obviously.
I could live like a king while still having enough time to read whatever the fuck I wanted.
Being ultra smart isn't enough to buy a Rolls Royce.

confusius and yourself didn't and won't ever know anything. Get used to it delusional cunt.

>I know how to control the universe

Sure you do lmao

You're super intelligent. Unfortunately this means in relation this would make me smarter than god.

You're delusional in your own smrts. Im just in a "permanent state of psychosis".

You best recognize the difference now, bwoy.

I would take the latter any day of the week. I would get one of the most dense and complicated books i could find in maths or physics.

Why when a pamphlet of symbols would say more in less space.

Eternal Language>Living Language

Speak one to learn the other, speak the other to speak to the gods, speak to the gods to Know God.

you could make a billion dollars understanding the bible.

With learning things lik coding or abstract mathematics and combining it with your inherent creativity you might strike gold in a fashion which 25 million couldn't tip improving your life quality or financial wealth.

Alright I choose to understand the entire contents of the internet

Take 25 million. Invest, then build wells and schools in Africa without profit. Donate my homeless, diseased corpse to a hospital for students to dissect.

Already been done kid.
Have you ever heard about the Catholic Church?

Then he could go to the quiz show where price is a million/few millions of dollars and win. So it's win-win.

...

Anyone who doesn't say the book is an idiot.

Learn some book on some subject that only 1 or 2 people on the planet fully comprehend, like rocket propulsion or airplane engineering.
Then get a job with Boeing or Elon Musk and up making $50 million a year.

>make a book of everything on the internet
>learn the complete content of this book in 1 second
>use your newly acquired knowledge of hacking to get into anyone's bank's account
>steal billions of dollars

knowledge is power

this pretty much wins.
Although I'd use my knowledge to destroy the systems and the guys that calls the shots, a la deus ex.

I can tell you guys are newfriends. This is unethical and not something Veeky Forums would do. Ever. Did you come from /reddit/?

Learning is easy making money is hard tard.

I'd fucking learn quantum mechanics

money because half the fun is actually learning things.

I would use it on a bible.

>make a book of everything on the internet
>learn the complete content of this book in 1 second
>7 trillion terabytes of furry and tranny porn metls your brain instantaneously

What do you think a index fund is? They literally do the work for you.

omg amoral scientists, that can't be! Must be r*dd*t..

You may not be learning the right stuff then
Some knowledge is rare, relatively and capable of generating money, lots of money.

How does. That work? Teach me ..
