How the heck did he get out of that alive?

Probably over thinking it, but I would have said red pill ten years ago. Now? With my wife and kids, blue pill, I wouldn't want to risk not having them. That said, if my knowledge is more generic and doesn't include all memories, it's a different metaphysical type question.
Despite current events, I'd probably go Red pill.
The most valuable thing any of us have is time.
But does it imply that? i.e. a youth potion returning you to the age of 6 in the present time with everything else still as it is? I took it as meaning 'travel back in time to find yourself inhabiting your 6 year-old self, and get to relive those intervening years, fore-armed with the knowledge you have now'.
That's not a curse. It's called "growth". You've learned to flex and avoid, cause you know none of it matters, and you can't do a thing about it. You move so far into the back country of Maine they have to pipe in sunlight, and you think happy thoughts totally unaware of the idiots that are hundreds-thousands of miles away.which is also the curse that you know you can do nothing about it.
doesn't that make it worse? You then get to re-witness the inevitable slow-march towards self destruction, completely aware that the very same batch of dickheads are going to drag the world towards increasing stupidity, with vastly more appreciation of it happening at the time, which is also the curse that you know you can do nothing about it.

That's on you. You have the tools to ensure happiness, and it's up to you to use them or not. Nobody around here's changing shit. They can gather, and argue over it like a turdball game, but nobody changes their mind, policy is exactly the same, and all that's been accomplished is the world's a tiny bit shittier than it was 10 minutes ago. The only variable is whether or not the individual decides to participate. Not too many choices in life are binary. This shit's easy ;^)We already have that guy that posts here. I don't want to be that guy.

It's conflicting decision for me, because I have a "intangibles matter" side. On the other hand, if I get 10 million now, well, I can do quite a bit with that money for matters right now.

Humans can change their minds, but are generally inflexible the more they value a belief.as to the bolded, that is certainly untrue. It is the obstinance of those that actually can't change their minds, and those that believe this is somehow a fundamental condition of humanity that is one of the roots of the problem. Running away from humanity is no solution--though I understand that it can be comforting and pleasant for many, which is of course totally fine.
After all the 1000s of hours in post apocalyptic games I've played? Bitch I'm ready! Witness me!well do you really want to live another ~80 plus years in this world that we have created?
This you?That's on you. You have the tools to ensure happiness, and it's up to you to use them or not. Nobody around here's changing shit.
