Blue pill all day. I'd never give up my daughter and we could spend the rest of our lives vacationing.
Here's my take, if went back to when I was 6, I probably wouldn't have the same friends I have now, like genuinely amazing friends. I'd rather not live though middle school and highschool again.
So I'll take the 10 million dollar blue pill.
Red makes more potential money (buy Apple, buy BTC) but that means it would be almost impossible to meet all my friends and I need to make new ones. Ugh I hate talking with people
Red pill. My dumbass thinks I could "fix" the people that fucked up my childhood with the knowledge I have now
I'd have to wait 10 years to buy Apple at $0.07 per share, but I think I could collect enough money to make that into more than $10 million.
Red, and then just get bitcoins early on and invest in tesla, by the time i'm back at 2024 I would have way more then 10M
Blue pill, it said you revert to a certain age, but not a certain time, meaning any information you've kept could be useless in an unfamiliar environment.
Also, it never states that time and reality will play out the same exact way, making said knowledge even more useless.
Blue pill. I'm young enough (37) that I'd lose far more than I'd gain if I chose Red. The knowledge I currently possess can change the world with 10 million.
Back when I was 6, in 1983, my uncle who worked in the oil industry told me about global warming.
I could totally have been a real radical environmentalist, but I was 6.
A second time around that talk would have an impact, and with some foresight for the next 40 years. I think no one would be surprised if I devoted everything to fixing global warming - they might be surprised at my success in the stock market.
I'd like to go back with my memories, but might run into some sort of time cop situation. It's a tough call.
This post is really revealing which people are happy with how their lives turned out and which ones aren't.
Neither. Trick question.
I’d choose the secret third option:
The cyanide pill.
I think, if you went back in time and started, for example, trying to get rich playing the stock market, you would be surprised by how much things change with your interference. Like, Bitcoin still goes up, but peaks at a different price. The same team wins the super bowl but by a different score. The longer things go on the weirder it would get.
With six it would give me the opportunity to move to my dad and spare me 6 more years of torture and violence. I'd take that even over 100 billion.
Gimme the money, I'm counting down the years I dont want any extra xD
Red, that would give me 30+ years of life. I would also try to get older healthier.
Blue. I wouldn't change much about my life rn, but an extra 10mil would be awesome.
which is one digests better in my ass?
One thing to consider, assuming the red one is mental time travel (which is the only way it'd really be at all useful), you're essentially murdering everyone who exists from your subjective present to the jump point to replace with at best very similar clones and possibly no one or completely different people. Then you have to also assume the timeline isn't fixed and you can actually change things, and thus contend with butterfly effect causing divergence making your knowledge less useful. Sure, little changes probably won't impact things on a global scale for a while, but once you start doing big things like investing or preventing terrorist attacks or something that could cause major divergence. Ethically any kind of useful time travel should be limited to "World is already wiped out" scale scenarios where the alternative is worse.
With the red pill I would have knowledge of my neuro oddness stuff which would have been SUPER FUCKING HELPFUL. I could have avoided all the self inflicted misery of middle and high school. I only can guess at what I would be doing as an adult if I were a self aware and confident kid.
Don't get me wrong, I love my life despite the path that I took to get here but I feel bad for little me.
I guess you have to take time. It's invaluable. Plus you have great investment opportunities.
Red pill if it means I go back in time to when I was 6yrs old. Blue pill if not.
Edit: having to live through puberty again would be painful, but there's a fair amount of stuff I could, and likely would, do a lot differently.
