which is one digests better in my ass?

I think, if you went back in time and started, for example, trying to get rich playing the stock market, you would be surprised by how much things change with your interference. Like, Bitcoin still goes up, but peaks at a different price. The same team wins the super bowl but by a different score. The longer things go on the weirder it would get.

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.

Neither. Trick question.

I’d choose the secret third option:

The cyanide pill.

Red, that would give me 30+ years of life. I would also try to get older healthier.

Hold on I have to look up all the winning games so I can become a billionaire just by gambling.

After that red pill all the way

Team Purple.

Red pill so I can become powerful enough to end everyone's need for money

I am taking both. Thank you. Nobody said that it is exclusive choice.

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.

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

Fuck binary choices. I'm taking both. Radical free will baby!

Red pill duh

Ten million USD in 2024 is more than enough for me and my family to live out comfortable lives, to be honest. I'd just take that, live off the interest. It will present its own problems, of course, but I'm sure I can figure those out.

Going back in time with any specific goal or intent (like making lots more money than ten million dollars by 2024) is almost certainly going to end up being its own kind of hell in this situation and especially so when there's no guarantee that I'll actually be successful in that pursuit. No guarantee that I'd arrive at the new 2024 with more than ten million dollars, no guarantee I'd be able to "fix" anything without causing worse problems for myself and others, no guarantee that I'd get here alive again, sounds like quite a bit of a risk.

Plus, once I go back to age 6 and start making different decisions, a different future will necessarily emerge. Think about it this way, in order to not change the future (until you're at a point where you can reasonably execute a plan to reach your goals), you'd have to make exactly the same decisions you did when you were 6. Pretty much nobody has that kind of memory/recall, so it would literally come down to sheer luck. And the further along in time things progress, as you make more and more different decisions than you did originally, the more uncertainty it would introduce to the new future. Eventually, you may even find that you basically have no more ability to recall/predict the future than you would have otherwise.

So if you're in it for the money, just take the guaranteed money.
