    Red for sure, I could have way more than 10 million starting over with all the knowledge I have now, plus I wouldn’t wait so long for certain things.

    While blue is the easy and tempting option, and I would live comfortably without needing to work ever again…

    I would choose red. Considering I am approaching 40, and going by family history, I’ll likely get cancer in my 50’s or 60’s… I think choosing red is a good solution to basically get extra 30+ years of life.

    Also, with the forenowledge, there is a huge potential for life saving actions. While I don’t think there is much I could do as a kid, it’s worth a shot and I would have time to figure it out.

      Hell, do the right things to receive the same offer in 30 years and you can take another red pill. Infinite loop!

        Without knowing the conditions of recieving that offer, I wouldn’t bank on being able to replicate it. You’d think whoever has the technology/magic to yeet your consciousness back in time into your 6 year old self without a time paradox would be smart enough to think of that infinite loop thing and avoid that.

        But it would be an interesting way to achieve pseudo-immortality.

    Six is a bit early. If I could go back to between age 18 and December 2015

    I could make money and have a way better career trajectory and love life.

    Otherwise back spring/summer 2007.

    6 is pointless. Knowledge and wisdom in a body and brain not equipped for it? Hardcore depression.

    So yeah 10 mill.

    Also knowing about

    • 9/11 (investing in detector manifacturers, fucking shampoo in small bottles)
    • covid (investing in masks, vaccines, tests and test centers)
    • all the wars: weapon industry in Germany
    • Apple, Google, Amazon, …

    You could just buy stock and get rich without doing anything. If you made such a company, damn.

    I mean investing in that post 9/11 stuff would make you rich, then you lend money to those Covid people and tadaa, Capitalism

    Also maybe you could change something in the world, worth more than money.

      Except not since you would have to replicate your current life to the smallest thing imaginable, and if you didn’t it would cause a butterfly effect meaning you probably wouldn’t get this opportunity anymore

    6 years old all the way. Ok yeah sure, investments, Bitcoin, be rich. However, I’d love to relive parts of my past that I would want repaired that money couldn’t exactly fix.

    I’d be a better older brother to my younger brother. Hang out with him, take him to his football games, take him to movies, play video games with him. Instead of being the douchebag party guy that ignored him. We have a good relationship now, but I wish I could’ve given him better memories when he was a kid of his older brother and guided him more/better.

    I’d help my Mom with her addiction that took ahold of her because she couldn’t cope with what happened in her childhood. Maybe she’d still be around today, instead of me being so self absorbed in my own stupid shit.

    Avoid the bad relationships I was in, and have the knowledge to recognize when a relationship will go badly.

    Maybe the money would help with some of these things, but I really think my attention and presence would be more impactful.

    Red Pill of course. I have plenty of things I think I should have done when I was still in my elementary school. I also want to correct big mistakes I’ve already done, if possible.

    Pro gamee move: Start with red pill, take blue pill when you get back to the point in time where the choice is offered

      Red pill is too vague. Do you go back in time to when you were 6? If so then red pill is good because you could just achieve all you’ve already achieved faster and you have more time for other stuff. Do you just turn into a 6 year old? No thanks, not about to restart on hard mode.

      Also is that time really that valuable if you’re going to spend a significant part of it threading the same ground?

      That why I’d take the blue pill, clearer outcome and with 10 mil I could easily improve the quality of my time. For instance by completely ditching work I have much more time to see my children grow up.
