Discussion You get to restart your life, but you can customize everything, from parents, ethnicity, sex, country, etc. Albeit the same year. What do you change?

Easy, I'd just choose to be the son of an arab oil magnate so that I do not have to work a day in my life and can choose to have up to 42 different wives

alternatively I'd love to have been born on america in the 40s
Literally the best place in the world in the most prosperous time period in history and you get to die as the world starts going to shit. Just gotta make sure I can avoid the vietnam draft though or something

Being born a mongol would be pretty neat, I could terrorize han beta males and pillage east asia like a gigachad

I thought everyone would just become Tyrone.

I don't think I'd change anything. I wouldn't be myself anymore so it'd be kinda pointless.

 

[Ree Vannin]

I would only change parents and location. Let's say European old money as parents, and let the location be Switzerland. Because of this, I will get the maximum amount of information about the world at a very young age thanks to parents, and will live in the safest, cleanest, and most beautiful country. That's all I need.

But you wouldn't be you. You don't keep your memories.

It's a very small cost for being one of the most informed people in the world.

Yes but you wouldn't be you. It'd be someone else.

 

[Ree Vannin]

Yes but you wouldn't be you. It'd be someone else.

In the sense of losing memories, yes, but it will be me in the sense of possessing an essence that defines me as me.

 

[8doe]

i want to be reborn as timothy mcveigh so i can kill glowies or whatever

 

[Fortuna]

In the sense of losing memories, yes, but it will be me in the sense of possessing an essence that defines me as me.

You without memories is not you. You are your memories, it is what defines you.

 

[Ree Vannin]

You without memories is not you. You are your memories, it is what defines you.

My essence defines me, not my constantly changing qualities

 

[Fortuna]

No, your experiences form your essence.

 

[Ree Vannin]

No, your experiences form your essence.

My essence influences my experiences

 

[Fortuna]

My essence influences my experiences

And vice versa.

 

[Ree Vannin]

And vice versa.

No, because essence is eternal and unchangeable
