THURSDAY THINK TANK:

1000 DEGEN for the best answer posted in /teach.

If a genie appeared and granted you a wish that you could INSTANTLY master one skill which skill would you pick and why?

For me it would be the ability to play the guitar like a pro. I have always loved music but struggle to find the time to practice enough to get good on the guitar. I have never dreamed of being a rock star but would love to just be good enough to play and sing with friends at parties.

What skill would you pick and why?

If I could instantly master one skill, I would choose the ability to learn and apply complex problem-solving and critical thinking at an extraordinary level. This skill would allow me to approach challenges—whether in science, technology, philosophy, or everyday life—with a depth and clarity that goes beyond conventional solutions. Mastering this skill would not only help me navigate difficult situations more effectively but also empower me to contribute meaningfully to solving larger global problems, from climate change to social justice. The ability to think critically and solve problems creatively is foundational to making positive, lasting change.
