The fact that you believe that just proves that you'd be one of those "bright losers" you refer to in the below post.

NZT is the better choice if you are already smart. It works best that way. Otherwise, you would just be a bright loser.
For the rest of us, NZT is the far superior choice.

I disagree. It's a matter of opinion and about what goals do you desire more.
For sports and fighting, then Next is better. For creating awesome inventions then NZT.
Superior to achieving what goal?
How would you use the next ability in a UFC fight situation? Or how would you use it to write yourself a note after someone shoots you in the head from a mile away, or puts one in your head at close range? NZT is definitely superior in every way when it comes to what taking it offers. I'd much rather have that than the ability to send myself messages when some of the things I might need to be warned about would be fatal. If we're talking about being able to survive it's Highlander's immortality > NZT > Next
Regardless, I'd want to be a Jumper, especially if I didn't have Sam Jackson and Co. trying to kill me.

Very easily. Glad to explain to you.
I'm a martial artist and know wrestling, Kung fu, and some jui Jitsu. With the next power I can go over every scenario until I get it right. I would be the perfect counter striker. I would know every move they would make. I could potentially knock them out in less than 10 seconds.
If someone shoots me in the head then my past self will see the vision of it happening. I would simply prepare and avoid the shot. This is what Chris did. No need for a note.
Now for an H-bomb (where I can't escape in 2 minutes time) then I (the version who sees me dying 2 minutes from now) can write a note of what happens at 8:02pm (the moment the bomb explodes). The note will read, "An H-bomb explodes on me while I'm in Toms dinner at 8:02pm. Please copy this note if the time is after 7:30am.
The 7:58pm self sees the vision of the 8:00pm self writing the note and he decides to write the note. The 7:56pm sees the vision of the 7:58pm self writing the note and he decides to write the note. This goes on and on until 7:30am.
The 7:30am self do not write the note. When that happens that would mean no one actually wrote the note since there is no longer a need to. I simply use the 12.5 hours warning to either leave the city or try to find the bomb.

Show proof, like an explanation or example from the movie where his powers work like this.
Also, he has to activate the power(we see him do this multiple times). It's not always on. So if you're not actively using it, it's worthless.

You can do things with Next ability you can't with NZT. It's not inferior but different. NZT is better for humanity and Next is better for selfish reasons.
The applications of what you could do with the NZT are much broader than what you could do with the Next ability. Whether you want to use it for personal gain or to help people..you could just accomplish a lot more with the pill.
Can you not really figure out how NZT could be used for selfish reasons? It wouldn't be difficult to become insanely rich with it.
Plus to be honest..I feel you're thinking quite small when you talk about using the next ability to succeed in Martial Arts. You could literally change the world with the pill.

Well okay, even if that did work..why would you even point this out? In your amazing career as a UFC fighter do you foresee yourself being in a lot of situations where you are going to get caught up in the explosion of a nuke?
I won't even get into the fact that you wouldn't just need to escape the explosion, but to escape from the radiation as well. I can't even see how you could possibly think you could escape from a nuclear blast with only 2 minutes of warning. I mean you're talking about something happening at 8:02 pm and you are somehow potentially finding out about this as early as 7:30am which is over 12 hours earlier. Even if you meant 7:30pm that is still 30 minutes prior, not 2.
