[xnsahsoj] Understanding your world

What single additional piece of information would be the most useful to your life as a whole?  What delta information provides the maximum return of utility in your life?

Let's limit it to knowable information, so not "don't be where lightning will strike tomorrow".

Is the answer broadly the same for many people?  Or is it highly specific?  If the former, some mass media education could be good.  Various forces interact to affect probabilistic expected utility.

Inspired by, people mostly don't know how household appliances work, or how to repair them.
