  • Would I know everything I know now? Cause if not, then what’s the point? I might as well be a completely different person (because I would be).

    If I do know everything I know now, then would I retain that intelligence if I was another creature? Like could I come back as a chimpanzee with my full current intellect? What about an octopus?

    Could I come back as a 90 year old billionaire’s only heir, and be born with my complete current knowledge? Then I can just use the cash to help people?

    Since this is fantasy anyway, could I come back as a Viltrumite? What about a Kryptonian?

    Could I be Cthulhu?

    Could I just be me, but reborn with my current information?

    WHAT ARE THE RULES???
















  • You do, and don’t fool yourself that you don’t.

    You probably don’t click on ads, but they stick in your brain. You might see a half-dozen ads for Doritos, and then when you go to the store a week later, you’re slightly more likely to buy Doritos.

    The vast majority of advertising is just getting a brand or an idea into the back of your head so when you’re looking for something in that product category, regardless of it’s a VPN, a web host, a snack food, a car, or whatever, you’re going to have a bias towards what you’ve seen in the past.

    Most of my ad-blocking isn’t to stop myself from buying some herbal supplement/spray tanner combo, it’s to stop myself from being biased by the capitalist propaganda machine.

    I am not immune from advertisements, and neither are you.
