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

    I remember seeing this documentary on a home invader or something and one of his “skills” was he would go to the shoreline and practice sprinting, as in sprinting away from the cops. It makes me wonder if this would be like the game prey, where you have knowledge you can copy but some of the knowledge is physical.

    For instance, lifting heavy things is a knowledge pack called “leverage” because obviously you can’t learn their physical strength, but you can learn their best practices for lifting, and thus lift heavier things
