I once accidentally thought a girl in my class put her hand up for a high-five but was very confused when I put my hand up to give her one. I died on the inside. It was death by cringe I tell you.
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.
I’ve forgotten again that the average age on here skews 30+. All the big tech stocks were cheap when I was literally an infant, so I really misunderstood what you said.
The blue door implies that your current existence is the one changing your past, i.e. you retain the knowledge of your current existence. The ‘you’ that made those mistakes therefore still exists, as you would remember the mistakes you’ve made in order to correct them. The mistakes still happened, your timeline still exists/existed, you’re just now in an alternate timeline where your brain was surgically implanted into your younger self.
Because you have a different view of time and space. You could go back in time and stay the same,it’s just a different timeline, where you see a younger version of yourself. But changing anything in his life don’t affect yours, only his. There can’t be paradox in this model.
Exactly! I can’t count how many times I’ve messed up, but without them I wouldn’t be who I am today. Hence why I pick the red door, not for the money, but so that the experiences that shaped me still mean something.
Now that you mentioned it, it does bother me, but it might have been on purpose.
BMW stands for Benelli (?) Motor Werk(s), so essentially it’s:
(Location) -space- (Factory Type)
At least that’s my assumption for it, because otherwise, it being Nazi Germany, if that was a typographical error, the person stamping those would probably be shot
The last thing we should be teaching children is some easy mode fantasy about how virtuous and straight forward capitalism is.
If they want to prepare their kids for the world we’ve made them, the parent should take 99% of what they make at the end of the day, and welcome them to cry if they don’t like it because they own the means of lemonade production.
I don’t even see it as being the one crushing their spirit. What makes that crush more painful is what most parents do, play pretend that the society their child will enter is just, fair, mutually beneficial, and responsive to good faith effort.
The reality lf course couldn’t be further from the truth. Teaching them such things is feeding them to the jackals and setting them up both for disappointment and failure. Children need to know that the moment they’re an adult, society will prey on their good will, punish empathy, and attempt to exploit them for maximum labor with minimum reward.
Instead some parents have their kids sell lemonade/scout cookies/etc to smiling neighbors, about as reflective of the reality of our rigged economy as Santa Clause is to the reality of how those presents got under the tree last christmas.
Then society condemns such children for taking out student loans and working dead end jobs with no promotion or pay raise for making “bad choices,” despite insisting we spend 18 years deluding them into doe eyed naivety to preserve their innocence. If anyone actually wanted that, our society and the global economy wouldn’t be as sociopathic as it is.
