Interesting question. 6-years-old seems too far back. Not sure I want to be a 50-something 6-year-old.

Obviously the red pill is the way to go for world dominance and billionaire status, but your life would turn out way different and you likely would not have the same wife and children.

Still, red pill for me.

thats not a real question since $10 million today can only buy $1 million worth of stuff

it needs to be $10 billion if you want it to seem like $10 million in your question

i'll take the red pill, since i have the knowledge it takes to be rich on my own plus i can do better this time than last time

Give me the red pill. I’ll be on every talk show in america as the 6 year old savant who can do advanced algebra. Then I’ll be in the papers in 20 years as a where are they now kid.

Is it start in 2023 as a 6 yr old knowing what you know now? Or going back to the year you were 6 yrs old with that knowledge?

Either way, red.

Red pill. Money made off the stock market and sports betting would dwarf $10 million.

At 48 with a good marriage, kids, and a grandchild, plus in a good place financially, blue pill all day.

Red pill every time without hesitation.

I'd get to see my loved ones again and relive the best years of my life and right some wrongs and not make some mistakes and still have my damn eye and save my brother

It's not even a question. I'd do it even if it meant I'd have nothing.

If you choose the red, what happens to your wife and children?

Red pill would be the more interesting choice and it's fun to think about all the possibilities. But one of those possibilities is that you get killed in a car wreck at age 7.

I really wouldn't want that much of my present life to change so I'd probably go for blue.

This. The red pill is tempting but I’d have to give up everything I love and be cursed with the knowledge I gave it up.

And as soon as Bezos starts Amazon, I would volunteer to work for stock options. Would get a part time job elsewhere and live in a van.
