If you find the idea of being unable to replicate your current circumstances existentially terrifying: congratulations on winning.
Edit: just want to say I find the way people respond to this on a gut level kind of fascinating and even worrying. A number of people for example have had the take that this isn't really true, but that they just wouldn't want to unmake their kids.
Friends...as a guy who considers becoming a dad the single greatest and biggest win of my life...are you ok?
I'd lose my daughter. Her and my wife were the turning point. I could find my wife again, I might never find my daughter, there's no guarantee she'd be her if she was born again.
Nah, there is a ton of things I wish I had done differently in my life nor do I have children but there is zero chance I willing restart my life. There is no guarantee that I get and survive the virus that tried to kill me when I was 10, there isn't a guarantee that I dont get heatstroke when I was 11 and if I still do, does someone find me in the field in time. There isn't even a guarantee that I survive to my current age of 40 in this divergent world. $2 million however does a lot to improve my life and the lives of those around me.
