1. Have Telepathic Powers ( you can read peoples minds only)
2. Being able to have sex with any woman on the planet, at any giving time.
,Your immune to stds, and cannot pass it to people. You can bang all the models celebrities, milfs , babes you see in real life or on tv, internet any time you want/ as many times you want (you do not get desensitized to sex, if thats possible)
3. You become the smartest person on the planet in all sciences (Physics, Quantum Physics, Biology)
None of these are really that appealing on a long term basis, except maybe the third one--though I can imagine that becoming very troublesome since society's expectations would be incredibly high.

when I first started selling weed, I was the only person in my circle of friends/customers/competitors who was dealing kush or other very high end varieties (this being before kush totally took over the scene and destroyed the high end market). One day, I'm with a group of friends talking about the quality and prices, and essentially being like "yes, it is totally worth it to spend the extra", and generally demonstrating some type of discriminating taste.
So, just as we are talking about the price of an ounce and such, this other guy decides to pull out an ounce of the most normal, shwag weed. Basic fish weed. Looks at us all seriously and is like "I got this for $150" (or something like that, I don't exactly remember the price).
#2 is the best choice. #1 and #3 are basically curses.
#1 sucks for obvious reasons. Most people's thoughts are pretty shitty.
#3 sucks because it doesn't really mean a whole lot. As the scenario is outlined, you're only the smartest man on the world in the context that you're a master of every scientific field. That's cool, but having lots of knowledge about science won't help you an awful lot if you lack the wisdom to apply it in real life, and the charisma and social skills to make people listen to you. On a global scale, you'd be the guy with the master's degree woring at Wal-Mart.
imo

I would say so. The negatives you've given for the other two options are pessimistic, while even being optimistic about the long term benefits of option #2 doesn't amount to much.
#2 wouldn't make anyone grow as a person and it certainly wouldn't change the world.
