If I had a choice between money and going back to 6 years old with my current knowledge I would so choose becoming a 6 year old again, so many mistakes I could avoid. And I would know when to buy certain stocks and get money anyway. (Don't need 10 million)
If I were to go to 6 I’d still be well before 9/11. But Mom and Dad would really need to buy Apple stocks and buy that ‘absurdly expensive’ lot in Seaside. Hell buy at the nothing to see yet area that eventually becomes Rosemary and Alyce Beach.
I've worked hard to learn lessons over my life so far. It would be great to have the chance to apply that knowledge to a life that stretches out ahead of me for a long way.
Older people probably choose the red pill more. My life of knowledge is worth more than 10Mil.
Being a child who understands what it's like to be an adult sounds like torture. Plus you'd be losing your current relationships and it's unclear which ones you'd be able to reconstruct.
Blue !!
I have led a very isolated life mainly because of LACK of money that normal people have had.
I exist, I get from Monday to Sunday, but do it mostly alone.
I've thought about this, and I think doing it with the knowledge sounds kind of terrible in my opinion. Suddenly losing all autonomy, being put in a world where adults don't take you seriously and you're expected to form peer bonds with children? No thanks.
If it's 6 years old back then. I think i'd do that. It would be a lot of fun plus bitcoin and apple stock. But if I had to be 6 years in this hellscape I'd take the money. Plus to add on to your question, would I have parents or would I just be a baby street urchin?
You'd need the protection of an adult. Even with all the knowledge, being physically vulnerable and legally a minor would make street life traumatic. Besides I'd know how to play my parents to get maximum benefits from the do-over.
A lot of the knowledge eg about buying Apple shares wouldn’t give a lot of benefit if you became a six year old in the present day. But it raises a interesting questions about the how that general life experience might benefit a child and adolescent
True, but I was thinking more about how much harder it seems to be a kid nowadays. I am unsure how much of a benefit my adult knowledge would be. Be young again or be rich now? Maybe I'd take being rich. Go back in time and start over? I think I'd start over.
Having just lived through an election where we all saw it coming and I did everything I could think of that I could personally do to prevent it and it didn't help...no, I do not want to live through a couple decades' worth of disasters that I personally cannot stop, thanks.
The red pill, undeniably. I’ve dreamed of this for about 4 decades now. With everything I know now, back in the 80s, I would be multi millionaire by now.
Mom, dad, i know this is hard to believe and I can’t tell you why I know this, but it’s really important that you short a bunch of airline stocks tomorrow
Yeah I'd absolutely restart my life. Even without considering the massive amount of stock market rigging I could do, I'd be effectively doubling my lifespan. And maybe I could make some healthier decisions and choose to do things like never ever ever play WoW.
Aw thank you, I really appreciate that. 💜💜 It's very hard to instill the right sense of "I love and care for other humans" proportionate to what you can control even at the best of times.

I can earn the $10m myself knowing what I now know.

That.. could be interesting.

Y'all would be meeting the most ethical billionaire. I'm building high rises and giving them to state governments for affordable housing.
I'm buying us a nice fucking fast train so we can get to D.C. quick when we're pissed.
$10M before taxes and w/o investments is $500k/20 years and there's no way I could spend $500k in a year, so I could probably do some good with it.
