Blue Door. One of my greatest mistakes was not buying Bitcoin when it was 100 dollars
I fucking did buy bitcoin when it was pennies, but dumbass past me had a nasal problem and spent it immediately.
Red door, I can't say how much better I would do things if I did them again. But 10 mil can make things much better right now.
Just look up some stocks to buy on the day of your first mistake before you go through the blue door and as a result you can have however much money you feel like is a good amount in future.
Better yet, buy a huge amount of bitcoin and dump it at the height of the 2018 surge. Stocks implies you have a reasonable amount of money to start with, but bitcoin was worth pennies at the beginning.
10 mil would fix all my problems.
As someone upper-class who hangs around rich people: Yes, money solves your problems, and yes, money is a great way to be happy
That's only true to a point and that point is not very high. There is some good literature on this, but after a handful of standard deviations above high-average income the happiness effect plateaus. Multimillionaires aren't any happier than millionaires and often work more / stress more to get there.
You know, I happen to be ok with it plateauing, as long as I’m on the damn plateau.
I’m not even within view range of the plateau at the moment. Might even be a different continent.
But then, I’m not dumb enough to keep working/trying to earn more once I’m set to be comfortable for the rest of my life. So maybe that’s the difference.
The blue door, because money can't buy me the time back. It's priceless.
Also I could just buy BTC at $2 a piece and make the 10 mill as well. So it's win-win.
I'd even say, im hindsight it was a mistake not to buy bitcoin back then.
$2? I’d go back to 2012 or whatever and mine it using free electricity in grad school. Hell I’d use their cluster, call the slurm job something like “orbital_freq_prime_factors”
And I’d break up with my college girlfriend
And I’d bring my doctoral dissertation back in time so I didn’t have to write it
Even if the bitcoins didn’t work out, maybe I could buy Pokémon cards for cheap and sell them
Blue door is essentially erasing your own existence. Why do people even view it as an option? The me that made mistakes created the me today. If I erase those mistakes I wouldn't exist. Just some other guy with an easy life.
True, true. One of the mistakes however is not buying tech stocks in their infancy, so you'd wind up with way more than 10m.
Red Door cause I know myself enough to know I'm gonna make all the same mistakes even if I had perfect recollection of years of details I don't even remember now.
Blue door would mean having to relive my childhood years being forced to go to church and Christian school, but without the indoctrination that made it feel like it was a good thing. That would be torture.
Who decides what is a "mistake" and what is "fixed"? I feel like going through the blue door would trap you in some kind of infinite loop
Why worry about the past when you can have a brighter future with an extra 10 million cash?
I’ve seen enough of Silicon Valley to know you take the money and run.
Blue door without question. Even if there was a stipulation that I couldn't invest in stocks or bitcoin or do anything else that would make me rich.
I fantasise about going back and doing it all again, not making huge changes, but little ones, living my life with the knowledge and security I have now, so I would be able to enjoy my childhood instead of stressing about the future, I could be kinder to people around me and help them when they were struggling. I could tell the people I loved that I loved them instead of keeping those feeling held back due to insecurity. I could spend more time with my pets when I was "too busy" before. I could start the hobbies and sports I ended up loving as a child, and actually have the chance to be competitive at them.
Red. No amount of fixing mistakes will ever repair my lifelong depression.
Does "not buying Bitcoin for $1" count as a mistake or not?
I don't have any major regrets worth fixing, even though I've made some major mistakes. However, all of my current problems could be solved with $10M. Give me the money
After walking into the blue door the first mistake it corrects is that I should have picked the red door.
Am I the only one who thinks there haven't been big 'mistakes" in their life, just, you know, life? I mean, sure, there are things I would do differently given the chance, but not something I would call big mistakes. I would definitely go for the money - I would even pay money not to have to go though my teens again lol
This is going to be very age related I think for most folks. Myself blue door after making and taking with me a list of lottery numbers and dates along with major sporting event outcomes and horse races for good measure. Oh also stocks along with buy sell dates and value on those dates.
Time travel way way back to when the first fish crawled on land.
And step on it.
You're welcome.
Red door fo shiz. Those “mistakes” led directly to the pretty fuckin cool life I have now.
Stanley walked through the red door.
Red door, I'm not very unhappy with my previous choices
Blue door for sure. I can invest early in a ton of stuff that would get me way above 10 mil. And in this economy, not investing was a mistake.
Red Door. Fuck dealing with my life again during that time. Plus, the butterfly effect would be a major concern.
Easily the money. There were many things in life that didn’t go quite right for me, but there was a lot that did as well. If I muck around with what already happened, I might end up worse than I did.
You are a result of your personal experiences. Going back and changing would make you an entirely different person.
10 mil in hand. Had to make mistakes to learn and get better.
I've made many mistakes in life, still I like the person I've become. And I'm still absolutely in love with my husband. For 23 years now - wouldn't trade that for a new life.
So red it is!
