The 1985 Hypothetical - Do you accept it?
Welcome to The 1985 Hypothetical, where you are teleported back to this day 40 years ago in 1985. You are instantly awarded $10,000,000 in 1985 money ($30,000,000 today and a whole lot more purchasing power), but you are teleported back at your current age with all of your current memories.
If you ever speak of anything you know about that has not happened yet to anyone, including out loud to yourself, you will die instantly. This means music, shows, events, anything.
Here’s some of the things to remember:
• Time will continue to move as normal. Things that you remember happened that eventually pass will be allowed to be talked about again, as they no longer are from the future. You will be 40 years older than you are currently once 2025 comes back around.
• Likely, your current family and friends will not be in your life again when you get back to present day, as if you’re 25 years old right now, I doubt they’re gonna want to be friends with a 65 year old.
• You can use your knowledge to your advantage. For example, if you happened to remember the day that Bitcoin blew up, you can invest beforehand. But you can’t recommend anyone else to, as you’re telling others something that they shouldn’t know. You’d die. As long as you keep it yourself, take advantage of what you know.
Would you take this? Why or why not?
