    Blue pill. Restating with all my knowledge, I might end up not meeting my soulmate and not having my kid, because of randomness. I can’t have that.

      My exact thoughts. Give me this choice at 19 or 20, sure I’ll restart. Now though, the money would just be nice to provide security to the most valuable thing - my girls.

        Any point in time before my body broke down and a chance to not get through the troubles I had in my twenties? The ability to build neuronal structures like a child instead of learning anew profession in my thirties? Hell, I’m not gonna say no to that.

      I think choosing red is a good solution to basically get extra 30+ years of life.

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

    Blue. No mistake reversion or bitcoin investing would outweigh possibly never meeting my partner again. With Blue, I have everything I could ever want from this life, with red, I may lose everything important to me now.

      So true. My wife and I are high school sweet hearts but also both very different people now. The boy she fell in love with initially I couldn’t properly emulate. We were deep into Christianity and even met at church. We’ve since both lost our faith. I wouldn’t be able to pretend without her seeing through my bullshit.

      For $10M, I might just retire, buy a house and raise my kid.

      Sure beats having to struggle at work.

        Absolutely. Anyone who would go back in time purely to make more money is a fool if they think having more than 10 million dollars would make a tangible difference on their quality of life. Who cares if you make a billion off of bitcoin? For 10 mil you can be extremely comfortable and don’t have to relive some of the most awkward years of your life. Only way it would be different is if your choices got someone killed or something.

    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 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.

    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.

      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

    I was 6 in 1990. I can make stock moves that are worth more than $10 million by the time I get to today pretty easily. Maybe fix a couple things that could’ve gone differently while I’m there. I’m not scared of randomness, I’ve thrived in it once already.
