Thought experiments / Would you rather?

[Curiouscarli]

I figure this is as good a forum as any-
I often think about certain thought experiments or 'how much do you value" certain things. My latest is:

If you had a choice between receiving $1 million, or the ability to change 3 moments in your life, which would you choose?
Stipulation: those changed moments cannot affect you monetarily, but they also will not affect any lesson you learned (so maybe you can adjust a moment that embarasses you or remove an action that you feel guilty for, but you will still know the lesson you learned).
Alternatively, if a million dollars is too much to pass up, what price point would make that decision more difficult/vice versa?

What other thought experiments do you think of?

Ooh good thread choice!
I would definitely change the three dumbest moments
Making the right decisions can bring you happiness. If you take the money without having learned the lessons, risk is you won’t go in the right direction with it

Do we add our own WYR?

Please feel free to add your favorite WYR.

I live in MN and sometimes think- would I give up the holidays for a shorter cold season? (it hasn't been too bad so far, but 2 years ago was brutal)

I’ll take the money. What’s to say that fixing these bad moments doesn’t lead to something even worse?
Example: You might want to take back those horrible things you said to your ex the last time you spoke, those terrible accusations, but by not saying them it shortened your time confronting him/her and you leave 5 minutes sooner. Now when you leave your timing perfectly matches with the bus careening down the street, which because you are consumed with what you wanted to say but didn’t, you fail to notice and get run over. Better to take the million, peel a $5 bill off, go buy a nice Hallmark card down the drugstore, write, “Sorry I was such a jerk. Please forgive me.” on it, and send it. Mission accomplished. You might even mention that even after splurging on the card there is still $999,995 left, which just might garner an inquisitive response, in case you still might be interested in this person. But I’m getting off topic now.

The money, for sure.

I’ve done things and had things happen to me which I couldn’t live with, at the time, but I got over them and I can now, so.

Definitely change 3 moments!! I even know exactly which ones. Though changing two would likely preclude needing to change the third

The money.

I'd take the money. The dumbest moments still let me end up where I am now.

Funny to see this thread; I was considering posting a thought experiment to.

Pick one, and this will be your only sexual experience for the next six months:

A. You get exactly what you want physically - the person(s), where you all are, you have hours to devote to this, you're (un)dressed exactly the way you'd like, positions, actions, the works - but there's no real lust, let alone emotion. Everyone but you is just mechanically following a script.

B. Seven very rushed minutes, the setting is 'wrong', a few of your favorite touches are denied, but the person involved is truly lusting after you.

What's your choice?

 

[Curiouscarli]

For those that, no question, take the money- is there a price point at which you would make the choice change?
I find these value questions fascinating. At a million dollars, I'm on the fence- but I grew up Catholic and have a strong sense of guilt. 1 million is a lot of money though. Anything less thann $100k is an immediate choice change for me- I'm well enough working for my living.

Considering I have no partners right now, option B does sound intriguing- I do long to be lust after. But dang, 7 minutes and those stipulations is only reminding me of my last partner lol!
I take option 1- like masturbation with living bodies.
