A fact about the future

I'd like to know how I'd die. If it's set in stone, then you know nothing else can kill you. It's kind of like immortality.

Personally, being set in stone is not the way I want to go.....

I would ask how climate change can be solved.

Easy. Once the species who exacerbated it have been wiped out, it will revert to normal rhythms.
 
hmm, the thought of lottery numbers never even came up for me. This thread has revealed something about my personality. I've had people criticize me as greedy, but I don't think I am. I don't think much about money, and money won't solve my problems. It's why the thought of any way to get rich by seeing the future never crossed my mind.

I did think about my future, and whether I would want to know it. I guess that makes me more narcissistic than greedy. I'm not sure which is worse... In the end, I wouldn't want to know my future. It might just cause me to kill myself. I don't think I'd want to know anything about the future.

Please do not kill yourself. Just live this life and enjoy in it. And learn something from your life. That's why we are living for. And if you find true love that's the very best premium that you can get and there's no lottery ever that can provide it.

The winners of a sporting event I don't really care about, but can bet on, for the next 50 years.
 
You can only know when you had died if you wouldn't have known that you had died at this point. So only for alternate realities where people can't look into the future. Assuming determinism applies and not God's plan or what have you. So just drop it and grab what we all want - a free pass to live of the accomplishments of others (except this weirdo who wants to invent something - but the most moral choice I could expect from anyone :goodjob:)!
But assuming I couldn't ask for a way which would only serve to make me rich (a requirement any such hypothetical should have from here onward):

When will the last human being cease to be alive? And by alive I mean conscious.
 
You guys are fools on the lottery numbers. You can't know whether the numbers for the date you pick will be a big winner or a brand new restart just the week after a big winner.

Me, I want to know the score, spread, and winner for the Jan, 2014 super bowl.

Not if you ask for the drawing date and winning numbers for the largest <PowerBall, MegaMillions, whatever> winning lottery drawing of 2012. ;)

Me, I'm okay with merely $100M+ after-taxes rather than being the next Warren Buffett or Bill Gates. A quarter-million would pretty much eliminate financial worries from my life, and anything beyond the first million would hardly even be noticeable I suspect, with a healthy chunk of it going to charity. Though some billions with which to go the Elon Musk (space exploration) or Bill Gates route would admittedly be very cool.

Super Bowl final score 2012

28-24. :lol: Though I suppose it would be trivial to make two bets, one for either team winning. It'd help to know which teams would be playing/winning/losing it, to get longer odds on earlier bets though.
