what I discovered is that there are things about the Future that are not good to know

 Why?

Because if you know too much you drastically alter timelines and this often isn't good for anyone.

So, most of the basic stuff I know about is where to be and where not to be at any given time. In other words difficult events to survive happen with regularity on earth. So, learning where those intersections in time and space are going to occur allow you to continue staying alive often. Where you go and what you do and even what you eat or the people around you are often life or death questions in often unusual ways.

So, learning to trust your instincts and intuitions might keep you alive to old age. But, one has to be very introspective often to be able to do this. So, if you are too distracted by things spinning around you in your life you often are going to miss something important and then you could be gone.

For example, being a genius can be good or bad or neutral in life. Often just having common sense with your instincts and intuitions often lead to old age and a happy life more than genius.

For example, a genius might get a Ferrari and drive it 200 miles per hour and then they are gone. They make the money in Computer software or technology and then they are gone because they aren't in their body enough to know where not to be and what not to be doing  in order to stay alive.

So, often genius if it separates a person from their intuitions and instincts can easily be fatal in all sorts of ways.

This is why often "Moderation in all things" is often the key to happiness and longevity.
