    What skills are most important to pass down to another being?

    If ever get so advance to the point we are essentially what many now would call gods and we have the abilities and reason to create other sapient advanced beinga, what are three things we should pass down to them that we as humans have had to learn to deal with through millennia of being alive on this planet?

    I would personally opt for teaching the concepts of equality, individualism and diversity of thought/freedom of speech.

    The written word, maths and agriculture.

    The written word will alow them to write stuff down, with this create their own history and enable them to learn from past experiences.
    Maths are needed for building stuff, creating an economy and keep track of their date.
    And without agriculture they wont have any spare time as they will have to forage for food.

    These 3 things alow a culture to flourish, if you don't have them building anything meaningful will be very hard.

    Pass down all the memes we've accumulated. Just the memes, they'll sort the rest out.

    I would teach self-sufficiency, critical thinking, and self-preservation.

    Self-sufficiency so they can contribute to society and take care of themselves.

    Critical thinking to challenge popular views.

    And self-preservation to not let 10 culturally enriching "doctors and lawyers" into your house for the feelgood points.

    Dinner table etiquette and how to wear a suit without looking like you only wear one for court appearances. Beyond those two, nothing.

    If you get liquored up, drink lots of water before you pass out.

    Consequence. It is very important to be aware of the consequences of ones actions.

    I'd teach them about money, greed, and the best way to use other people for their own benefit.

    Basically that one star trek episode where the ferengi are gods.

    Pictures of me on toasts and dog buttholes and logical fallacies to confuse the shit out of them. That would be a great show to watch from a microscope

    You sound like the type of guy who pranks his cat/dog.
