Are we talking $10 M pre or post tax?
Post tax, $10M 100%. Not having to work and retiring immediately would be amazing.
I do like the recursive option of the red pill. Do a few loops and find the optimal path.
400 iq play is getting to the red pill multiple times and then taking the blue pill once you're satisfied with your path. Catch me on NG+10 taking the blue pill
Taking the red pill doesn't guarantee you'd end up with the same opportunity. If I knew I would be able to return to the same moment where I could take the pill again I'd obviously do that, but probability is slim.
There's no way you could follow the same path. There are too many narrow chances. I would start again just for the chance to not fuck up my health for 40 years. I feel like the cost would be many of my friends
Would you really want to live that long?
Let's say I was 40, no fucking way would I reset and reset and reset.
I assume that you have to reach the same age you first got the pills at. So just 3 resets would be 160 years (+ around 40 more if you stop resetting and die at the average age of death in western countries)
Personally that sounds like torture. Sure groundhog day was fun the first few times but 160 years? No thanks.
