Red Pill of course. I have plenty of things I think I should have done when I was still in my elementary school. I also want to correct big mistakes I've already done, if possible.

Blue pill is actually my vitamin d pills. But fuck that shit, let's go back to being 6

Assuming that the red pill lets me revert to a 6YO (thus preserving my knowledge), and not time traveling back to when I was 6, I might be tempted to do a lot of unethical stuff to make a ton of money, provide for my family, convert the remaining assets to BTC, memorize the wallet details, then take the red pill. As a 6YO, the government can't hold me responsible for my adult conduct.

If it's a time travel situation, there's no contest. Red pill after studying the history of inventions. Start out by inventing the Pet Rock (near zero initial investment), reinvest in the fidget spinner, Pokemon, D&D, and writing the scripts to all the blockbuster movies. Provide technical details to the right industries for a royalty. Invest heavily in the creation of the Internet, then start Facebook, Google, and Amazon, bypass the PC and jump straight to smartphones. I'd be the patent king of the world.

With the trillions of dollars, I'd heavily influence politics. I'd fully fund the campaigns of moderates, institute free Internet-based accredited college, set up work training programs to support industries I intentionally locate in depressed areas, and make most of my business non-profit. And maybe, just maybe, avoid the cesspool we have today.

Edited for spelling

Six is a bit early. If I could go back to between age 18 and December 2015

I could make money and have a way better career trajectory and love life.

Otherwise back spring/summer 2007.

6 is pointless. Knowledge and wisdom in a body and brain not equipped for it? Hardcore depression.

So yeah 10 mill.

Ten million USD in 2024 is more than enough for me and my family to live out comfortable lives, to be honest. I'd just take that, live off the interest. It will present its own problems, of course, but I'm sure I can figure those out.

Going back in time with any specific goal or intent (like making lots more money than ten million dollars by 2024) is almost certainly going to end up being its own kind of hell in this situation and especially so when there's no guarantee that I'll actually be successful in that pursuit. No guarantee that I'd arrive at the new 2024 with more than ten million dollars, no guarantee I'd be able to "fix" anything without causing worse problems for myself and others, no guarantee that I'd get here alive again, sounds like quite a bit of a risk.

Plus, once I go back to age 6 and start making different decisions, a different future will necessarily emerge. Think about it this way, in order to not change the future (until you're at a point where you can reasonably execute a plan to reach your goals), you'd have to make exactly the same decisions you did when you were 6. Pretty much nobody has that kind of memory/recall, so it would literally come down to sheer luck. And the further along in time things progress, as you make more and more different decisions than you did originally, the more uncertainty it would introduce to the new future. Eventually, you may even find that you basically have no more ability to recall/predict the future than you would have otherwise.

So if you're in it for the money, just take the guaranteed money.

Blue, easy. A 6 years old me can't do much even with my current knowledge, and i have to live through a childhood with my current world view and a slightly abusive father. Even if my goal is to redo everything it will take years for me to even have people taking me seriously, or have the "requirement" to set things up, i'll be stuck in a child body with no one listening, that's a nightmare.

10 millions though, i can set aside 50k to be used in the near future, pay off my mortgages, and the rest invest in a low risk profile and live off the rest of my life from dividends, and perhaps set up businesses in that actually reward blue collar worker.

Is cyanide an option?

$10 million easy. Sure maybe you could get more if you were going back in time and insider trading on everything. But $10m is already enough money to live a comfortable life, especially if you just invest it in something safe. And that way you don't need to go through school and puberty again.

Is the cash tax free? If so, jump on that shit.

If it isn't, maybe take the money, but probably just walk away

por qué no los dos? Punch him in the mouth and do whatever you want.:-P

Or just stare deeply into his eyes until he blinks, then turn around and leave the room. You're F-ing Neo, you don't need to play these kids games - if there's something you want, you just materialize it, easy.

Ofc... if this were a more irl scenario, I don't think I'd be taking pills from some random dude offering me to either "get rich quick" or turn me into a 6-yr-old, pudding or no. Maybe this is how he gets rich, by selling my organs or some such.:-P

Red, easy. I was raised by total red necks (heh), complete hicks, and it did give me bottom of the barrel ideas about what i wanted to be. I could have healthier habits and work towards a better self earlier. Money? I'll just be an early Bitcoin adopter and make all the cash I'd ever need. Hell if it came down to it i could make money on the dark web and use my age as a shield and tool. Friends? I could cut out bad friends early and find my future friend group whenever i want, I'd probably even have an advantage since I'm way more of a nerd now (see that first point).
