I picked 4 since I could leverage that info to trade stocks or otherwise make money in a way that won't get me arrested. Not sure if the first 2 have much practical application if you don't already engage with those fields.

2 > 4 because surprise regulation or discreet knowledge of externalities will supersede superior trade knowledge since politics regulate trade, or at least heavily factor into market sentiment.

1 seems the most fun, 2 is hard to capitalize upon - I'd have to go work for the government or an NGO or something, 3 is too risky, 4 is boring

2 & 4 are literally the easiest to capitalize on. You don’t have to work for them, you just have to know what the market will do tomorrow and act accordingly.

I’m already learning music/movie/fashion, and I’m planning to learn drugs/forging (maybe not smuggling tho). So I’d like to suddenly deeply understand geopolitics/megacorps

1 just sounds demoralizing, but 2 and 4 could be fun / investment-improving. Wouldnt be able to make full use of 3 due to external factors

Went with geopolitics and megacorps because it balances personal interests and utility better than the other options.

this info on drugs/forging/and smuggling probably involves a lot of horrific crimes against humanity. Same thing with an order of magnitude higher would apply to geopolitics and megacorps

Manufacturing, trade, and logistics is a constant global need so probably most useful
