      It’s a better than usual version of these common thought experiments. Usually there are not enough constraints or they are too easily evaded. (Right amount of constraints is whatever makes the cash payout tempting but not decisive; i.e. no immediate obvious dominant strategy)

      14/ so here's a wacky one: wife and I are both turned into 6 year olds ...in our current house / lives / etc. what to do? If social services gets a whiff of that ... we get sent off to foster care or something? WTF?https://twitter.com/Cary_Bleasdale/status/1482095177833586690 …

      The earliest I'd do is 18 for family reasons. Also I don't remember shit from back then so people would probably think I'm retarded.

      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Shea Levy

      16/ so, on the topic of "I travel back in time and then I lose my wife/kids" - I've thought of this. The problem with Replay and Rewrite: Loops in the Timescape https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38531463-rewrite … is that they're hedonistic "This time I'd bang chicks like a drum!"https://twitter.com/shlevy/status/1482095515248570372 …

      Replying to @MorlockP
      These scenarios are much more fun for those without kids. With 10 years to plan I can probably figure out a way to woo Alyssa again when we're like 16 or whatever even though I'll be kind of also late 40s. No way to get our kids back though.

      17/ ...and it occurs to me that there is a story that is almost DESIGNED to be written by John C Wright which is a sort of retelling of the myth of Orpheus attempt to rescue his wife Eurydice from Hades. Our hero gets send back in time, he's 6 or 16 or whatever, he starts >>>

      18/ looking for his also-16-yr old wife, and either he finds or he doesn't (she's died, she doesn't exist, something happens), but even if he does find her, their children don't exist ...so now he has to solve the mystery of the timelines and the stranger who gave him the pill

      20/ In my envisioning, no, the universe stays 100% the same except wife and I turn into 6 year olds but...easier to set up a ruse than to explain to courts that magic exists, no? https://twitter.com/NoLongerBennett/status/1482097186410278916 …

      21/ > 6 + 46 = 52 ☹ > In a typical year, how many things do you have to do that would allow someone to discover that you didn't look 50? I drive twice a wk. Also, if we did lawn chores, etc as a 6 year old, neighbors might note "2 kids...no adults?" https://twitter.com/NoLongerBennett/status/1482098816207704066 …

          They are also usually ameliorative: this time Id value my real friends/true love/real vocation, all that. But if you make genuinely different choices, how soon before your prior experience stops working?
