        Unlikely since there must have been at least one other living person around with a functioning uterus to give birth to me. I’ll accept “your parents are slaves in the Glorious Musk Empire.”

          But the question is “where were”, and we haven’t colonized Mars yet even so past or current tense doesn’t matter. You’d just pop and then “oh no” (but in baby speech).

    A VERY expensive luxury hospital in the US.

    I’ll keep playing the game I know, but with a stacked deck.

    Any of the top European or Asian countries with the most powerful passports. A lot of people with powerful passports don’t realize the privilege they have just by being born in their country.

      Why?

      My country’s passport is categorized as the 3rd better in the word, but I never really used it or saw any special advantage to it.

      I suppose it can be useful if you travel a lot internationally, but if that’s not the case is not really that big of a deal.

        My comment was supposed to say “travel privilege” instead of just “privilege”, just missed a word.

    A utopian post-scarcity society of an intelligent space-faring species with kindness and compassion as core of society and having achieved immortality (in the biological sense)

    Because I feel like I’m “missing out” after watching space sci-fi tv shows. This era still feels kinda primative.

    The single largest predictor of future wealth and earning potential in America is what ZIP code you were born in… So, with that in mind… 94027 or 33109. If you’re born in one of those two areas, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be a multi-millionaire by birth.

    I’ve said that, if I had it to do over again, I might choose to move to Norway or Finland instead of Japan, but birth? I don’t know that’s possible to answer. Even if my family were the same people, they’d probably be culturally different having been born and raised somewhere. Even if we assume my parents were just plonked down there, I probably still wouldn’t be the same person due to my environment. Some of that almost certainly for better, but I wouldn’t be me.

    Pretty happy with where I was originally born to be honest. I just wish the country it’s in hadn’t gone to fascist oligarch shit.
