If this really were The Matrix...

...and you were one of the very few people cognizant of this reality...

What would you do with that information/ power? Would you try to hack the system to gain advantages over the ignorant masses? Would you try to spread the knowledge and lose any type of edge that being one of the very few in-the-know bestows you?

What (skills, talents, knowledge), if anything, would you download into your brain? Would you change your appearance and/or physical attributes and, if so, in what way(s) and why? Would you "cheat" your way into a new occupation? New lifestyle? What would that world look like for you?

This is a little thought experiment aimed at putting the shoe on the other foot (seeing from the "top dog's perspective"). Would you if you could? And how far would you go with it if you had unlimited power to expand your potential? What direction would you take it? For the good of all? Yourself, alone?

You might not like the answer... or you might... or you might not care... and your reaction will tell a lot about who you are at the core.
