Blue pill. I'd miss my wife and kids, and even if I were transported back in time, I doubt I'd do all the required steps to get to them again.

If I get back to 2005 I can easily get more than 10 millions by the time it's 2024 again. Plus all the other perks of restarting your life

If I choose red, I wouldn’t be able to guarantee my daughter would be born even if I met my wife because of, well, biology, but if choose the blue pill I can make sure she’ll have a huge head start on life from this point out, so blue pill it is.

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.

Blue pill.

That's a lot I could do with red pill, I would easily be able to become a millionaire, but I am pretty happy in my current life and that would be enough to satisfy all my dreams.

6 year old me was unhappy enough without a plethora of knowledge and absolutely nothing to do with that.

I'll have the money please, I got some ideas to make 6 year olds less unhappy.

For the statistics: 40s, successful, no family.

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. Including the parts of myself that help make the relationship bad.

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

I'm not sure if people here realize this, but the interest from $10m is approximately four to eight hundred thousand dollars per year.

So, with ten million, one could instantly retire and never ever have to work again.

That's priceless freedom to me, and it wouldn't require deleting almost all of my friends, relationships, experiences, and who I am.

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

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.

I'm taking the money, I don't want to be a child again.

Blue pill. Restarting 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.

I'd take the $10 mil. Childhood seems like it would be a lot less fun if I had to go through it again but now with the jaded mind of a middle aged man.

I can for sure find a way to have fun with ten million dollars though 😉

Six year old, easy choice - do something mildly special for a kid that age and get on TV then when they ask you a question the answer is 'well it was a dream i had, there was a pale horse riding towards us snd the horses name was Tod, it was going to run over everyone but an angel told me to call out to the faithful and save them....'

Kid can't even read and from an atheist family then starts quoting bible and making up complex visions and messages no child could ever create - plus very clear predictions that come perfectly true, knowledge of science before it's discovered... Admit it, you'd get sucked into my cult.

Could have a huge portion of the world believing, teach them the need for luxury gay space communism then when we're all living in utopia be like 'oh btw it was just a time travel prank lol'

Could you imagine the psychological damage of having your adult mind shoved back into your 6 year old self? You'd be unable to relate to or even tolerate any of your peers, so say goodbye to any childhood friendships. You'd be unstimulated by the mountain of busy work in school and frustrated by all the topics you'd have to relearn. I personally would go through all of the procrastination troubles again. There are plenty of traumatic events that you would not be able to prevent or even affect. Nevermind that you are still carrying that trauma with you, you're just trying to not re-live it. Develop any chronic illnesses? Maybe you can get treated quicker but you still have to watch your health decline. It'll be a decade before you have any kind of autonomy to do any stocks or Bitcoin type stuff, unless you want to become some prophetic wünderkind. As far as I'm aware, mt gox was one of the only reliable places to get Bitcoin, until it wasn't. I don't know the day that it fell apart off the top of my head.

I never understand why anyone would choose the "do it all over again" scenarios.

Blue pill all day. I'd never give up my daughter and we could spend the rest of our lives vacationing.

Red pill. You can make money, but you can't make time.

Everyone is choosing red because they think they would be rich, but would they?

Imagine having the knowledge, that you knowingly stepped back in time, and all of your memories are now not real. They won't happen again unless you actually act exactly as you had before. No one believes anything you say because you are 6. You're forced to go through school again at 6.

Let's say you use your genius to progress quickly through school. Those sorts of kids become famous prodigies. You would end up on the talk show circuit with Ellen.

You would also know way more about your parents than you should at that age, and cause familial issues that would land you on Dr. Phil.

Imagine how torturous it would be to relive every moment, not being able to convince anyone of anything due to your age, unless you give up the fact that you were somehow sent back in time and know the future. Would you be able to convince your family without going insane? Would any government agency take qcute interest in your foresight? Imagine having to keep a level head while also going through puberty a second time.

How much will your presence affect the timeline? Maybe your first big move to get rich causes all subsequent moves to not exist. Maybe your parents hate you. Maybe it's chaos theory. Maybe you end up taking a path away from opulence and become an addict due to the constant anxiety, regret and boredom. Maybe you become a nihilistic mess that drives you to a worse life than you had before.

I'd take the definite of $10M. I know what I would do with it right now. I know it would be good.

Edit: a downvote without a reply telling me how I'm wrong is really an upvote.

I couldn't imagine the stress of knowing what I know now and being sent back to when I was six years old. I'd be trapped with my parents.

I'd take the money. My wife is amazing, and we are very happy together, but a lot of things had to fall just right for us to end up together.

If Silicon Valley taught me anything, take the cash.

My brain says the blue pill because money.

My heart says the red pill because I miss my soulmate and would give anything for a chance with her again.

I ate both. Nothing really happened to me, but the matrix has been glitching though…

Red pill if it means I go back in time to when I was 6yrs old. Blue pill if not.

Edit: having to live through puberty again would be painful, but there's a fair amount of stuff I could, and likely would, do a lot differently.

With the red pill, the blue pill is redundant.

There's nearly 0% odds I end up with the same wife and kids twice and I hit the jackpot the first time around. Give me the money.

Blue pill, redoing school and all for years before getting any further in your life would be way too boring

Red pill says restart at 6, not go back in time to when you where 6. I assume you will be 6 in the current time and have no future knowledge to convert into cash.

Red pill.

I had a few pretty rough years in there... I wasn't suffering or anything like that, I was just.... Going in the wrong direction. Took me a while to get back on track.

Red pill, because it'll eventually take me back to this moment and then I'll pick the blue pill.

Red pill. Perhaps I wouldn't gain $10 million with my current knowledge but I sure would get some underage wait what are we talking about exactly

Blue pill: I would die of boredom if I had to go back to school for more than a couple of days.

Red pill. Would save so much more in childhood trauma and that's priceless.

Are the pills binary? Because I wouldn't want to rewind to far before either shacking up with, or maybe meeting, my girl. And all the fun things I would wish upon every iteration of myself that I'm doing now are things I'd started with in adulthood.
I'd only really be interested in taking about a third of a red pill, since that'd probably take me back to after I started most of these fun things.

If I'd be required to take whole pills, I'd take the blue one.

blue pill, my existing knowledge won't help me cause I'm not in a position to actually change things. 10 million dollars though... I could invest that and call it a day

Red makes more potential money (buy Apple, buy BTC) but that means it would be almost impossible to meet all my friends and I need to make new ones. Ugh I hate talking with people
