How would I feel if I moved to a planet where
*I was in the bottom 1% IQ
*Everything I valued about myself most was a mundane, easy skill for others
*Having sex with kids was a default routine under the belief it's healthy for them
These types of questions are my most constant

What about a world where you have complete control over your body's appearance? Or read each other's minds? Or you're the most evil person by comparison? Or you can clone yourself? Who would I become if the world around me transformed in comparison? What of me would be left?
