No. We need to live in the moment. Knowing the future holds negative things as well as positives, it would just feed the need to worry.

I'm 77 yo and I live life as full as I can. Makes me no difference if I die tomorrow. My wife and family would argue with that.

ReplyImprove the outcome.
ReplyIt would help me to make the best choices for my future
ReplyIf by "the future" we mean this country's future or the planet's future, then count me in. If it's my future, I suppose it would depend on how wonderful or devastating it was.
ReplyThe stock market so I could make a fortune. Just don't tell me when I'm going to die or how.
ReplySure. I think I already know much of what is to come, from just having lived a long time.
ReplyYes. Because there is a perfect time to leave a decaying world, and I'd like to know that minute. I plan to shove cheesecake in my mouth for the hours leading up to that moment.
ReplyIt is great being prepared
ReplyAt least the winner lottery
ReplyBy knowing the future, I would be able to prevent some tragedies, (if possible) and allow myself to emotionally and physically prepare myself for what is inevitable.
ReplyI think it would be "cool." I don't think that I would be able to change MAJOR turning points in history. I couldn't save JFK, because it was a pivotable event
