You have two options: Option A: American Dream You are a white male who occupies a dead end job and barely makes enough to be classified as middle-middle class. You can afford a moderate amount of the modern luxuries capitalism has to offer. You have a wife who loves you and a kid who probably loves you. Although you are completely safe in your suburban neighbourhood, and secure in your finances (relatively speaking), your life is ultimately meaningless. You don't contribute anything to society other than your genetics and work output. You cannot divorce your wife, or change the scenario drastically in any way. You basically live the 50s American dream, but you are just a shell of a human being. The only meaning you can derive is from the other suburbanites around you. You have no hope of ever being remembered. -- Option B: African Warlord You are a white male who has flown to Uganda, and has the means to acquire an arsenal of soviet era weaponry and armored vehicles. By means that don't matter, you acquire a significant following and amass a small army who will give you their absolute loyalty, even dying for you in battle. Although you have a a batallion willing to die for you, you will have to live with the fear of being killed every single day, as other factions try to wipe you out. You're constantly having to plan for your survival and be a charismatic and inspiring leader for your troops. As for technology, the most technology-wise you could ever hope to acquire is something on the level of late 90s computers. Any kind of state of the art luxury would be an extreme rarity, and have to be painstakingly acquired, probably through military raid. Although the circumstances are much more dire, you will be remembered as a legend and your story will be told across generations. Which life would you choose?
option D
i was hoping no one would choose that. you're a japenese schoolgirl trapped for eternity in a classroom full of bulging, sweaty men. just men.
Damn, I can feel how jealous everyone will be of me now
Option B, I already live with fear and having to plan survival so not like anything will change.
I was hoping this would be a kinda serious thread but w/e option e is you shitpost on a forum for the rest of your life and eat chicken nuggers
c is good
option b, i do not fear death
Option A personally. As someone lives in a developing country and have experienced a lower-class childhood in a fairly dangerous neighborhood. With some apathetic teachers on public school that barely had any luxuries, and a hot climate with no air conditioning, with classes that hold an average of 100 students per room that barely fits everyone. And growing up with a fairly depressive adolescence phase, barely graduating college as an IT, and only ending up a slave labor job in the call center industry after graduating, with 12 hour shifts for pays that can pretty much just afford my basic needs without much room for leisure. On top of all that, everyday experience is just really risky, with dirty environments in the city amplifying risk of diseases, and crime rate and poverty are still fairly high, to the point if I were to commute alone, I'll always need to bring a burner phone and just the bare essentials of money because my chance of getting mugged is sadly high. I'm living pretty alright now for the past couple years with a job I'm happier with and family being able to live more in a stable fashion. But no one can really guarantee if we'll lose that again in the next day, next year or so. And that thought just lingers and scares me. So choosing Option A on having the most stable boring life is ideal for me, because at least I can wake up everyday with peace of mind, without worrying about not being able to eat or live under a roof, nor the risk of getting killed either by sickness, a knife or a gun. I don't really need any legacy, as long as I know my family and closest friends were with me at life and had happy times during those periods.
