I want to understand, intrinsically, and be able to manipulate to my liking, all the financial systems of the world.

At worst, I'd quickly become a well-paid accountant. At best, I'd become an extremely talented, untraceable, modern Robin Hood.

This would be a pretty dope tv show for about a season.

Musical ability — perfect pitch, great rhythm. I'm an okay musician after years working at it, but I'd love to be better.

Playing the piano and other instruments like a master. Music conveys feelings we can’t convey otherwise.

That can be said about any form of communication. Words on a page convey what words spoken can't always.

The right touch in the right way Can connect you more than any sound or word could ever hope to.

A painting can make me feel things a book can't make me understand. A performance or dance can show me something i can't hear or speak

It's different ways of experiencing experiences. What is communicated is not always the same between different subjects and objects. Even if they often do

But also to your point hearing music IS different from feeling music and different from creating it. I think music as a communication tool is fuzzy and not very good at communicating clearly. Powerfully i dont deny but not everyone can be affected the same way by the same music either so it's not a dependable form of communication.

And sometimes yes those feelings can be conveyed by other means.

But you seem like you might enjoy this song

Ren - Hi Ren (the music video is worth watching if you listen to this one)

You'd need both time travel and teleportation, or else you'll find yourself in space when you travel forward or back in time. The Earth isn't a stationary object

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

That entirely depends on what is being done when traveling in time. Is it localized, regional or defined at the time the lower is used. Does it effect the world around you or is it you in the world that is manipulated.

Depends if it's a monkeys paw power or a self defined ability

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

Time (and relative dimension in space) travel

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

This assumes an absolute reference frame, which does not exist in this universe.
