Comment on Would you rather be reincarnated into a world of magic or reborn as yourself (with your current knowledge fully intact)?

So new game in magic world or new game + in normal world?

Do I have to be the chosen one in new game +? I’d do that if I don’t have the added responsibility of saving the world.

If you’re of a certain age, you’d STILL have to save the world.

Imagine you go back in time, to the year your born. You can’t even speak yet, but you know 9/11 is coming.

If you try to warn others, they won’t believe you. But after it happens, they’d blame you. You’re the guy who knew 4 planes would be hijacked on one random tuesday.

Because thats what 9/11 was before the planes hit. Just another random tuesday. Very calm. Nice pleasant weather. If you watch what the today show host says at 8am, he says “It’s Tuesday morning, the sun is shining, and it’s a nice quiet morning. Maybe a bit too quiet.”

Oh believe me. That’s about to dramatically change!

But how would you know that on Sept 9th 2001?

So now you have a choice. Let thousands die on the day, and hundreds of thousands develop conditions related to the attacks. Ranging anywhere from mild, to lethal. Everything from a persistant cough, to aggressive cancer.

But in choosing to save them, you most certainly go to max security federal prison.

Or, you can pretend to be shocked when 9/11 happens. Knowing you let hundreds of thousands suffer.

Your choice.

  You did this wrong. I would spend the time using the info I know to get massively rich very early and connect with people who can do something, and start working that front

  Would it really matter if we get reborn? That implies pretty strongly that death isn’t the end. Sure, you could choose to be a hero, or at least try, but all those people already died, maybe even you did (depending on how this whole thing works).
  
  Given those surrounding circumstances, I don’t think the concepts of life and death would carry the same weight in a second run through life.
