Never lose again.

Last night I was up late, after the rest of the family had fallen asleep, and I watched the Nicholas Cage/Jessica Biel movie "Next." I had heard about the movie a while ago, but I finally had a chance to watch it. The premise is very simple: Nicholas Cage plays a character who is capable of seeing 2 minutes into his future. As a result, he is able to fleece the Las Vegas casinos and avoid capture or death by various entities as the movie progresses. Can you imagine if you had that ability? A mere two minutes, you ask. What good is that? Well, the obvious use would be to go to Vegas and make a killing. Less obvious would be the fact that you probably would never be a loser in any endeavor in life that you attempted. See the hot girl? Your ability to see a mere two minutes into the future would let you know ahead of time if your words or actions will work. Remember Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, who used a trial and error system of failing on one day and taking a different route the next day to score with various women around town? Well, you would be able to do it in real time, and not have to wait until the next day. Imagine what kind of police officer you could be. You would never make a bad tactical decision. You would never be killed in the line of duty. Imagine being a soldier. Same thing. Imagine being a race car driver. Same thing. You would NEVER fail. Just imagine...
