    You would go out and memorize every crime detail and business decision? Spending this gift on a mix of corporate meetings and bearing witness to all the horrible immoral things people do to each other.

    What you gain except easy acces to wealth and popularity? Things we know that do not cause happiness.

      The ability would be see back to any year. I could just look back at any specific event within the year. I wouldn’t need to memorize anything if I can just observe it.

      I already consider myself a fairly happy individual. I would be pursuing financial independence, not happiness. Besides, why would I assume that the acquisition of knowledge would have an impact on my emotional state.

        Yeah i read the prompt as “You lose the power once you go back to normal time” I can see your plan makes more sense if you imagine it as encountering things which spark an opportunity if you could see something specific in 2024, however the power of it being recent would diminish over time.
