gollark: I might be wiser in a few ways, but mostly I would have advanced future knowledgeâ„¢.
gollark: I would then use this to subtly influence future (past) events I don't like, such as "brexit".
gollark: I could just attain money via ??? child things, spend it on some bitcoins (or even *mine* it, since it took a while for people to catch onto GPUs then ASICs) and then have 19024719827490 capital.
gollark: I have vague knowledge of deep learning things which are really recent and would probably substantially accelerate progress if brought to the past somehow. More importantly, though, I would simply buy bitcoin.
gollark: Anyway, if *I* were magically sent back in time I could do better.
