It must be time travel or it’s a bad deal - become 6, also orphan or effective orphan, also undocumented, become a missing person in your old self

If that was the deal, the millions side would have conditions like it’s stolen money and the mob know who has it

And where’s the fun in any of that?

psud,

Clear outcome? If red is “become undocumented child in 2023” blue can’t be simple.

Blue would have you watching over your shoulder for who the money was taken from, or the money would be taken off you as evidence of crime, since no one has millions from nowhere, and it’ll be very hard to hide

psud,

You could run away, roll the dice on the foster system

More than 10M gives you the ability to change popular opinions, spur good industries, kill bad business

Enough more lets you hire people who can help spend the money effectively

psud,

Back when I was 6, in 1983, my uncle who worked in the oil industry told me about global warming.

I could totally have been a real radical environmentalist, but I was 6.

A second time around that talk would have an impact, and with some foresight for the next 40 years. I think no one would be surprised if I devoted everything to fixing global warming - they might be surprised at my success in the stock market.

WYR have $10M or be a 6 year old undocumented orphan, unrecognised by everyone you knew

It’s clearly go back in time

The choice is

  1. $10M cash right now; or
  2. Practically infinite money, but you have to relive childhood

He wouldn’t get his terrabucks, but he’d get a gigabuck or two

psud,

You’ll want to be pretty old to get in before some of those inventions.

psud,

I feel like at 6 you’re not going to be tripped up by teenage relationships like you would landing in a hormone flooded/different brain state in your most important social years

It sounds like a plan for having no friends from school

psud,

Monkey paw is supposed to suck, not be instant death

psud,

Workers co-op is a good model for worker rewarding structures

psud,

I don’t think many of us are significant enough to change anything, at least until we time travel with intent to make enough money to fix some of the problems of now

psud,

You were the one positing the idea of Bitcoin at age 10. A 10 year old in 2010 would likely have a suitable computer

psud,

Selling thousands at a time as you get closer to the peak.

psud,

It would be so creepy trying for the same partner. So much of relationship building is learning about each other and you’ll never be surprised by their side of those conversations

psud,

Tape is just as susceptible to magnets, though it is a more stable medium. It’s not like they’ll be exposed to significant magnetic fields though

psud,

Spinning hard drives last for decades. You can pretty absolutely protect yourself by storing two with multiple copies of the key each

psud,

Have you any ideas how enshittification can be prevented without preventing Slashdot and Reddit? Like you can’t make a non commercial rule without making a more barren internet. Maybe the best you could do is get a Lemmy-like thing up and open source before Reddit could emerge

Is it unethical to leave a partner? Should we censure Paul Simon for 50 ways to leave your lover?

(Not addressing the kid bit, since it does seem a tad cold to unexistify someone for little fault of their own, also no one but you mentioned kids)

psud,

Sure. When did you first hear about it, and that it was caused by burning fossil fuels?

psud,

Sure, but how was more fun, and I had no moral duty to reply to your actual question

Or perhaps if the red pill is turn six today variant that pessimists think it might be, you might get actual immortality. Say we work out immortality in 2060, that might be difficult for someone 50 today, but easy to reach for someone 6 today.

psud,

Taking them in the best order will be hard since the blue pill or its 10M would be left in the old timeline - or if there’s only one timeline, left in the lost future

You could take the blue pill and live it up for however long, try not to die suddenly, then take the red pill. That sounds risky to me

psud,

Weather wants your location so you can get weather for where you are

psud,

Do you know if 4k80 is complete yet? Their website suggests it might not be
