To know how my actions will affect the future and the brainpower to process the shear endless possibilities. The longer the time frame is the more powerful it gets.
Could go a bit like a butterfly effect: I know if I get a croissant this morning the store will run out and the assistant of some hedge fond guy won’t be able to get him one. So, he’s grumpy all day and crashes the marked.
More direct: I know how I have to throw the dice to win at the casino, which numbers I have to pick for roulette or the lottery.
Wandering into Fort Nox because I know when and where the guards are.
Brute forcing every password with the first try.
Knowing basically everything because, let’s say the time frame is a week, there’s a future in which I choose to read any one book, article or paper in that time and I know what’s is in it.
Everything not written I can get out of people. Get it through asking them, drug, seduce, or torture them without actually doing any of it because it’s enough that there’s a future where I could do that.
Of cause I could just guess and see in which future I was correct.
With a timeframe of a year I could tell scientist what they would have achieved in that year with unlimited funding and leapfrog any discovery that way. Which could get continued ad nauseam, day one I tell them what they would have achieved after a year, day two I tell them what they would have achieved after a year with the knowledge of day one, etc.
Would make for a very boring super hero movie though. Solving all the problems before anyone even knew that there’s one.
Dispose all the problematic world leaders without getting caught and pulling all the money out of the stock market to solve world hunger.
You wouldn’t wander into Fort Knox because you’d already know what we store there these days. It’s not where we store the gold anymore. I seriously doubt you’d want the stuff that does get stored there these days.
