    True, but in this case I’d only be six years old. I’d be too young to really do anything about future events, and anyone who could do something probably wouldn’t listen to a kid warning then about politics and finance. Somehow I feel like by the time I’d be old enough to make any of that information useful I would have either forgotten a lot of it or ceased to care. I might choose differently if I was starting at age like 25 or 30 though

      Well I would imagine my parents would pay attention to a 6 year old with the intellect and speech capability of a fully grown adult, especially once i tell them I can predict important future events and deliver a couple examples. Then I could ask them to create a trust fund and make it invest according to my foreknowledge. 25 years later and it’s a global empire with controlling shares in all major corporations.
