Except it doesn’t specify that you go back in time to when you were 6 years old, but that you “restart your life at 6 years of age” so a fairly reasonable interpretation would be that you’ll be a 6 year old in 2024. Monkeys paw and all that.
Now, I personally think it’s more interesting if it did mean that you went back in time.
Thats actually even better than just restarting. I already want to make it to 120 to see what 3 different centuries looks so this would make that unrealistic goal so much more accomplishable. Also i will have an idea of what medical things im going to look into and see what options i would have as a kid today vs 40+ years ago
Totally agree. 10 million dollars will never buy me those years back. With remote work I could probably make enough of a living to get by until I age back into adulthood. At the age of 6 I’d have a higher brain plasticity, so I literally could get smarter faster only this time I could direct all of my potential into something a little more useful then just learning how the world works. With modest investing I could easily get to 10 mil by the time I’m at my current age just due to compound interest.
And lastly I could easily reach 120, and with medical advancement who knows!
The more I think about it, being six years old again really wouldn’t be that bad at all.
Edit: Assuming I’m still me but only younger, it’s not like I’d have to go back to school again as I already have diplomas proving I’ve done that before. So I could probably just tell any potential employees that I have dwarfism until I age back up. With the right clothes, hair, and possibly a little makeup (to make me look older than 6), the second I open my mouth no one would believe I’m six and would assume I have some kind of congenital disease.
It gives you both, but at what cost? If you have a spouse or child, that’s probably not going to happen again in round two. You’re going to make different decisions that take you on a different life path. Even if you made the same decisions, is your significant other actually going to fall in love with you when you’re going on the first date with 10 years of history already? You’re not going to bring that new relationship energy with you and you’re going to seem weird since you already know them so well. Even if you win them over, you won’t have the same kid. The odds of the same sperm finding the same egg are millions to one, possibly even higher since you probably won’t do it on that exact day. What about all your lifelong friends? Are you actually going to form meaningful relationships at 6 or 10 years old when you have the mind of a 30 year old, or whatever you are by that time? Probably not. I think the cost to go back would be very high.
Red one gives you both. Literally. Just buy Bitcoin or something.
Except if you have a pretty good life and don’t want to mess up the timeline that led you there.
The red pill sounds like absolute horror. I’d desperately try to get all the good things in my life back, and probably mess shit up bad.
Though on the other hand, there are obviously a bunch of “you were a young idiot”-type mistakes that I’d want to undo…

Search YouTube for 82 year old carnivore. She makes 120 look possible.

I’d worry about the bad side of the $10M if it’s monkey paw.
Anyway I want to see the sea level rise chaos. So no down side

Completely depends on your age
As a person who didn’t yet get love of my life or children, red pill is a pure win
