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?
That makes a huge difference

Either way, red.
The first 12 years might be torture.
You would be around kids all the time and couldn't drive and would be stuck in a desk at school with stuff that would bore you to death
You would have the opportunity to relive your physical prime in your 20s and 30s though

Red.
Things like betting on the 1980 election, investing in Microsoft when it went public (1984?), going into IT the moment I hit college, betting on the Tyson/Douglas fight, buying land along the Natchitoches/Shreveport corridor (for the insane mineral rights purchasing that went on around 2000), buying every share of Apple I could in 98 when it was around .12/share, getting in on the ground floors of Google and Facebook, buying Netflix the moment it went public, mining the frick out of bitcoins starting in 2009...
By this time around on my 2nd run through life I could have amassed so much that I could dig $10M out of the seat cushions of my sofa.

That’s the essence of the choice.

Red pill and it's not even close.
Posted on 12/17/23 at 1:09 pm to Bjorn Cyborg
Black pill is the way to go. The West is too far gone at this point and will never be the same. We will never achieve the social and economic prosperity we had in the 1950s

Kind of boils down to greed.
10M given to you is great but you’re not building anything.
Knowledge + 6 years old you could change the world.

I bet that if this happened, almost nothing would change in a larger sense. It's not like many of us actually know anything that could change the world. Every reply is just about getting rich by buying stocks that we know will go up. What are you going to do? Go back and ace high school algebra? You think if you knew algebra at 6 years old that you'd somehow master nuclear fusion by the time you were an adult? What do you really know now that could advance the human race if you could only tell people about it?

Your personal life would be utterly different if you took the red pill. Hell, the odds of your getting kidnapped and held hostage, whether by criminals or government (though I repeat myself...) would be astronomically high.
While $10M is by no means frick you money, you could stick it in VTSAX, not work a day in your life, and still lead a lower-upperclass life purely gleaning dividends and capital gains.

Red pill. Nobody would know Warren Buffets name, I'd be the new Oracle of wherever I happen to be.

In that case red pill.
Live childhood and teen years with adult knowledge
Invest in bitcoin and make way more than 10 million

Not sure. All the knowledge in the world, but there are some mistakes from my teen/college years that I’d probably make again in the re-do.

10 million seems like a paltry sum if history repeats, especially if you are really old and have the compounding value of money in your favor.
