Are the pills binary? Because I wouldn't want to rewind to far before either shacking up with, or maybe meeting, my girl. And all the fun things I would wish upon every iteration of myself that I'm doing now are things I'd started with in adulthood.
I'd only really be interested in taking about a third of a red pill, since that'd probably take me back to after I started most of these fun things.

If I'd be required to take whole pills, I'd take the blue one.

Also knowing about

  • 9/11 (investing in detector manifacturers, fucking shampoo in small bottles)
  • covid (investing in masks, vaccines, tests and test centers)
  • all the wars: weapon industry in Germany
  • Apple, Google, Amazon, ...

You could just buy stock and get rich without doing anything. If you made such a company, damn.

I mean investing in that post 9/11 stuff would make you rich, then you lend money to those Covid people and tadaa, Capitalism

Also maybe you could change something in the world, worth more than money.

Red pill.

I'd apply myself in high school, force myself to be sociable as a child, graduate with my bachelor's degree 4-6 years earlier with a better GPA, and get work experience and savings well before the COVID-19 pandemic. (I would try to stop it, but if someone told me that they had exact knowledge of the future, I wouldn't believe them, and frankly I would be worried if people believed me without further evidence.)

I don't need or want $10 million.

10 million cash instantly would get you killed so fast, just look at ANY article about lottery winners getting their life just absolutely fucked up. Resetting at 6 would suck too but at least you would get something out of it.

Red for sure, I could have way more than 10 million starting over with all the knowledge I have now, plus I wouldn't wait so long for certain things.

I was about 6 and a half when 9/11 happened so i would probably be telling everyone about that and end up getting arrested by the bush administration. Ill take the money
