WYR: Be able to perfectly predict the stock market but the cure to alzheimer's will never be found, or have the cure to alzheimer's but the cure to cancer is never found? (lemmy.world)

With the stock market option you can spend that money on research for other cures if you wish.

This almost seems like a monkeys paw question where I am going to immediately end up with Alzheimer's if I choose the stock market option.

I'd probably cure Alzheimer's because it seems like a horror beyond compression.
