Here's a question I admittedly stole directly off of Facebook. You are offered a choice of two pills. The blue pill will take you back to the age of ten with your current knowledge. The red one will jump you to age forty with forty million tax free dollars. To me, especially at my age, this one's a no brainer. Forty million is chicken feed compared to what I could make with my current knowledge. I was ten in 1964. I could write every great song ever written. I could steal The Beatles best, "write" Tommy, steal Dylan's very best songs, swipe all of Hendrix's licks and antics (some of which he stole from The Who), etc... I would know in advance the results of every major sporting event. I would know what areas were going to get built up.... like the casinos coming to Atlantic City. I could invent the internet, Windows, Yahoo, Facebook, etc... the possibilities are endless. On a personal level I would avoid many of the stupid mistakes I made. Also I would be able to warn family members and friends of pitfalls they were heading for. I would be a ten year old with many decades of experience in martial arts so I could go visit some of my worst oppressors and settle some scores. Maybe that would be the best part. Not say a word, just let them do their bullying then... they'd never know what hit them. I would also know what kind of women the girls I knew would grow up to be. I'd probably make a real play for Susan Muller, an opportunity I badly squandered back in the day. To my surprise many people on Facebook took the forty million at age forty. I guess if one was young that would be a more viable option. Which pill do you take?
