Here’s the rules, anyone, anywhere in the world who has an expertise or is even good at something, or has some knowledge, you can take that expertise for yourself, but they do lose it in the process.

Nobody knows it was you but the person who you stole it from, they can no longer do tasks that that level, (e.g. an artist can no longer draw but you can)

Would you do it? Could you live with the guilt or would you pick some scumbag?

I think I would take Donald Trump’s business experience, say what you want but the dude does have at least a moderate understanding of selling a product. I take that, make myself a decent living (I’m sure I can do it without conning anyone) and donate the rest, leaving him without the only skill that he really relies on. I would have to be careful though, cause if he has money, and knows who I am, he could probably hire a hitman, so I would have to steal his knowledge of his network as well

    Would I do it, yes. From who? – Someone that is about to die and represents a great loss of knowledge and experience.

      I suppose also if you got consent from someone who is very old and they were okay with it that would negate the guilt, also what skills would you steal specifically, I’m curious as I don’t know who this is

        He is the person behind TSMC. Basically, he played a massive role in the modern digital world. You’re likely holding a piece of his legacy right now as you read this.
