In the movie Limitless, the main character, Eddie Morra, takes NZT and his first action is to clean his apartment. If someone else suddenly gained the same level of intelligence as Eddie, what do you think their first course of action would be?

In Limitless, the main character Eddie Morra decides to clean his apartment after taking NZT. That choice surprised me at first, but it made sense—he likely wanted to declutter and create order, at least that’s how I interpreted it. Now, imagine a transhumanist reached that same level of intelligence and became a similar kind of genius—what do you think their first course of action would be? Do you think it would depend on the situation? For example, if they weren’t in an apartment or their space was already clean, would they do something else? To be clear, I don’t mean something trivial like which direction they’d walk in, but rather their first meaningful and impactful decision—something with tangible results or clear purpose. What do you think that action might be, and what reasoning would likely drive it?
