I’d probably want to use his powers of clairvoyance and superhuman intelligence to decide on what to do next.
But with my average human intelligence, I’d materialize money so I can retire. Wait…Dr. Manhattan is immortal…yeah I’m really going to want to use the brain power thing to come up with something better.
I read a book as a kid where someone got a stone they could ask questions to and always get the right answer.
The trick was to
ask the stone what you SHOULD do to instead of how to do a particular thing. Otherwise, you’d end up with genie-style like consequences.
So yea I’d probably figure out the best way to get humanity to the point where things are pretty good. Possibly deal with corruption, set up a better governance/financial structure, etc. But they key is to figure out what to do after I get the powers, not before
