3 and 4. Making great works of art would be easy peasy, then proceeding to be a couch potato while eating junk food and not having to worry at all about clogged arteries, diabetes, etc? Never having to worry about diseases? Count me the fuck in.
If #5 means I have a dollar in my pocket and go to buy this car and suddenly I have the entire rest of the money in my pocket, then I'll take #4 and #5.
If not I'll take #2 and #4
1 and 7
Could be a god in an isolated culture
If you pick 3 then that means you should be able to accomplish 1 with your immense talent
Imagine how much you would be able to mess with people if you had telekinesis.
I think its gonna be 1 and 4 for men
So 8 is like a one time feeling of love? That sure beats telekinesis
2 and 7 for me. I feel like 2 covers 1 to some degree, and who hasn't wanted to be telekinetic at some point in their life?
2 can cover 1 if the language isn’t already dead
2 definitely covers more learning than 3 does, I think. Talent doesn't make up for practice, but recall feels like 90% of what practice is supposed to be doing. And it would make me a beast at my job, just never having to reference anything ever (quite literally over half of it is just referencing different passages of the same sources over and over).
And yes, telekinesis too. It's the biggest excuse I would have to start working out and never stop. From doing crimes to being able to play with the cat in a more convincing way without having to get up for the fourth time.
Does "omnilingual" include knowledge over unattested languages, like Proto-Sino-Tibetan and Proto-Indo-European? If yes I'm picking it, and I'm revolutionising Historical Linguistics. (And getting rid of that bloody *e o ē ō vowel system.)
Plus #4.
Omnilingual and perfect health. Boom. Next question.
1+3
I assume that being omnilingual means the perfect ability to verbally communicate.
With unlimited learning potential I can do whatever I want. Perfect health can follow easily because apparently getting fit and exercising properly is partly a skill, and frankly I don't want to feel entitled to my own health.
4 is a no brainer and 7 would be cool.
3 and 6 - Be able to master something I enjoy (for me - writing, woodworking, math) and then make living doing I something I love instead of my soul sucking job I have now… and 6 - more time to do the things I love. Without the flaws inherent in eternal life…
6 would be so funny Ever drank to much and wasted yourself to the point where you are unconscious? Your friends won't know You just stand up like nothing happened So 1 and 6 obvious call
4 and 6. I could wear myself out and recover several times a day, no need to take it easy. More time for study, housework etc.
4 and 1. 4 because of obvious reasons, and 1 because it's would be the easiest to monetize efficiently.
So #8 tastes like pussy?
3 and 4 are thé likeliest to result in me essentially becoming immortal. Instantly talented at science I could easily turn that good health into lasting well beyond the normal lifespan of earth. Instantly skilled at making the right financial connections to finance it all.
Omnilingual + perfect health, easily.
4 & 7
6 and 7 for me thx
Natural talent and telekinesis.
Assuming I can improve it by just getting stronger would only encourage my already disciplined gym habits and I would be twice as strong in any circumstance where I can make direct contact with something as well as use my telekinesis on it.
Natural talent just because getting past the "I'm so bad I'm not having fun" stage of literally any hobby/skill is the hardest thing for me to overcome. I hate every second and I usually quit before I develop enough to enjoy whatever It is.
