Money, Women, or Power? Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

If you had the power to pick whatever you wanted, what would it be? All the money in the world...the power to seduce anyone, WOMEN OR MEN (anyone you could choose), or power (the charisma to charm anyone into anything).

What would you choose? HOWEVER, your wish wouldn't overlap with any other group. If you were rich, you couldn't "buy" any woman/man you wanted nor could your money influence anything you wanted at all. If you had the power to seduce any man/woman you couldn't use that to convince them to give you all their money. Etc etc.



Basically, it's money to buy everything you wanted, Women to get any gir/guy you ever wanted (and they wanted you because of their OWN FREE WILL), or Power for influential's sake.

That's a great pointless thread, franky.

My selfish choice would be women. This would probably lead to one of the most fun and interesting lives possible. However, more seriously, power allows you to change things for the better, so that's the 'right' answer, imho.

Women (and Men)...... It just is more down to Earth and doesn't suffer that much from decreasing marginal utility due to inaccessibility.

(If I wanted power, I'll play Civ...my words are backed by nuclear weapons.... ) The only reason I'll want money and power beyond those that is necessary to maintain a reasonable middle class existance is to impress people anyway......

I have the woman I want and power doesn't interest me.


I should have said that I have had enough power to know that power doesn't really interest me.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Well, maybe FC should define "power" for the purposes of this poll then. Until he does, I won't vote, but I'm inclined to choose money. Until such time as I am bombarded by radiation and grow extra genitals, I don't really need more than one woman (though I don't even have that much), and power is inevitably accompanied by responsibility and the temptation to act like a jackass and earn enemies. So money it is, and I'd just not have to worry about feeding myself or shelter ever again.

That would be one form of blindness. Another is to think that having lots of money means the only thing you could possible do with it is buy gold-plated Lamborghinis and eat caviar all day.
