Borrowed Time or Borrowed Talent?

Would you rather borrow one person’s entire lifetime of wisdom for an hour, or borrow one person’s natural talent for a week?

I’d love to hear what direction people lean toward.

@LanaAfterDark

Out of the two, I’d go with borrowing their talent for a week! 

How about you?

It depends...

If the talent is mathematical i.e. good at estimating probability, I would design a stock-trading program while I possessed that knack. For me, it would take a few days to a week for sure... Once I'm done I would open a checking account, put $1K in it & link the trading program to the account. Then let it run.

I'd check on the program maybe 1× or 2× per week...as long as the balance rises in the long run, I wouldn't worry much.
