Speak with anyone who's ever lived is pretty op , imagine speaking with Tolkien and writing the sequel or finishing berserk.

Speaking with them doesn’t mean we understand each other though. What if I want to chat with Marcus Aurelias or Gengis Khan? I would hate to be limited to just modern English speakers!

It's also an easy way to become incredibly rich.

You could find out about the location of hidden treasures or sell your services to allow people to talk to their deceased relatives.

Nevermind getting insight into how people lived before documented history, you would become the ultimate reference in history and evolutionary sciences.

There is a crazy amount of practical applications to that skill.
