Make a wish (Floofy Game)

If you were given 25 points in order to buy "wishes", which ones would you buy, given those 12 choices (can't pick the same choice more than once):



Long life (15 points): Guarenteed to live at least up to 80 years old, in decent health (unless you purposely try to die)

Short life (2 points): No matter when you were going to die in your life, add in 1 more healthy year. (No way to know when this kicks in).

Big money (25 points): 10 millions dollars

Small money (7 points): 100K dollars

Tiny money (1 point): 10K dollars.

Revive (5 points): Ability to revive a person of your choice, once in your life. That person will live until you die. The person will never know u did that for her.

MMA (3 points): You instantly become really good at martial arts. UFC level (but that won't make you the next UFC champion).

Don Juan (12 points): You instantly become really good at seducing womans, a bit like a really good Pick up artist. Doesn't matter if your ugly.

TimeSkip (4 points): Exactly like the Click movie. You can skip any part of your life, and it won't affect it. A dentist meeting? SKIP. Very boring class? SKIP.

Sleepless (6 points): You require 4 less hours of sleep per night. If you needed 8, you now need 4.

Radiohead (5 points): You can play any song in your head like if you really were listening to music (same quality). Can also be radio statons. Good for boring moments where you can't actually listen to music (work).

Smart (8 points): No matter how smart you currently are, add in 40 IQ. You remain the same person with the same values, you just suddenly get better mental capacities.

time skip and revive only 5 points.. yea... this game is pretty skewed.

It is skewed since i decided of the cost all by myself. And obviously, the cost will always be skewed (a healthy 77 year old will find long life useless).
However, i think you over value time skip. Maybe it could cost more, but really not much more. There's actually not many moments of my life i would choose to skip, especially if picked the radiohead option.

timeskip, smart, don juan, tiny money

If we can pick the same one more than once I'm going smart, smart, smart. Otherwise, smart, sleepless, revive, MMA, short life, tiny money

I actually decided to make it back to 5.

I would consider 2 kind of picks:

Risky pick:

Smart
Small money
Sleepless
MMA
Tiny money

Safe pick

Radiohead
Long life
Revive
(i work a office job 35hours a week, sitting down all day)

smart
sleepless
short life
radiohead
mma
tiny money

No 2nd thoughts about this really. I value my time and intelligence over pretty much anything but picking long life used up too many points and I feel sleepless and smart are 100% must haves, so I'm sort of willing to gamble that I'll live a long life without the need to buy one with points, and even if I dont I have at least 1 extra year with short life. I only really need 6 hours of sleep a night anyway, so reducing that to 2 hours would give me a ton of extra time even if I dont live to 80. Radiohead/mma/tiny money are just fillers basically. They seemed all like good options. Who doesn't want to be a guy whose great at mma, can play music in his head, and has a spare 10k lying around?

edit: actually question about short life? When it kicks in, do you know it kicks in? Or do you just live that extra year not knowing that it is extra. I'd sort of hate knowing that I have exactly a year to live and have to count down the days. Like it would be fairly stressful when you get close to your death date knowing that you have exactly x amount of days left.

No you don't know about short life

Sleepless is a way undervalued and don Juan is way over valued imo.

Smart, sleepless, small money, mma, tiny money

Hmmm yea apparently i didn't gauge them all properly.

10 million

lol revive 5 points

Just out of curiosity, everyone saying "LOL REVIVE OP", what would you do with it? Just curious. Save it for potential death of a child/wife, or use on someone like your parents?

Radio head is retarded lol why would you waste points on that? Get an iPod.

It's pretty obv what to pick. Smart, revive (priceless obv, could solve any money probs if u care about that). That leaves 12 point? Throw in Don Juan.

Could be value in sleepless yes, I like sleep though and would rather either sell my revive or use it on the one I love and use Don Juan to sexual enslave a female for my monetary needs instead. Wouldn't give up being the smartest man on earth (+40 IQ points) to gain a couple more hours of sleep a night

I think Don Juan is honestly the worst choice. u r basically masturbating with another human being I think you would get bored + disgusted with yourself pretty quickly

Isn't Don juan make Any female love you or at least seriously lust for you? I'm talking magical shit like pulling way more hoes than Bradley cooper and Ryan gosling. This pick is not useless. There is more power in this pick than maybe any other. It's not about mutual masturbation or even sex at all. It is power over women.

Which is totally aside from the ethical issues involved, it's pretty much rape if u get someone to fuck you with your magic power.

You can't always be using an Ipod. can't use Ipod at my job, and i'm sure there exist other situations where u can't.

"You instantly become really good at seducing womans, a bit like a really good Pick up artist. Doesn't matter if your ugly."

Its a bit different from what you're saying. You gain high level seducing skills, but thats it.

change radio head into master vocalist

In order of what I think is more important
Smart - 8
Sleepness - 6

Rest don't seem important


Just to fill out the rest of the points
Revive x2 - 10
Tiny money - 1





Another option I would consider to be #2

Just take the 10 mill, and enjoy life

Time Skip, Smart, Revive (Tupac), And 110k.

MMA + Time Skip could be a good one, cause you go to prison and can time skip your prison sentence.

Few of these choices seem appealing to me, I agree that smart and sleepness are the better ones but it wouldn't make me a happier person. so yolo 10mil

time skip is an awful choice imo

On May 10 2015 03:36 k4ir0s wrote: time skip is an awful choice imo

Yea I agree. My thoughts are that even if something boring/unpleasant is happening in my life if I just skipped it all I'd feel like my life is over in 5 minutes.. I'd rather experience the bad/boring parts than feel like my life ended incredibly quickly

smart, sleepless, MMA, revive, tiny money, short life.

already get chicks, dont need much money, think i will already live a really long life, dont want to skip any time and have an ipod.

If you were so gorgeous and perfect that any female wanted that DNA in her now; that would not be rape. That is kinda what "don juan" meant to me.

and when i mean get money from a woman I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with that either depending on how it is done. If I just meet some billionaire lady and she wants me so bad she doesn't mind shooting me $ as part of our relationship I see little wrong with that. Obviously happens in reverse all the time.

Anyways I get laid I just had 12 points left so figured that could be useful/fun. Everybody just wants to act like they get mad ass on an internet poker forum and wouldn't even think to need this option. haha. Aight give me the money and a couple extra years then, I still don't want sirius in my dome.

And I only take those extra years as a hedge against an accidental early death. It's not like I care about tacking a year or two onto the backend of a long life

Fun game floofy

revive and long life are pretty amazing when used together so I have to go for that first even though it leaves little points for anything else (though I'd be willing if they cost 25 points combined).

sleepless might be neat, but if you have long life can't you just do your own sleeplessness and take some drugs to help stay focused/alert without any worry of lasting health damage?

Finally I'm going to speculate smart is worth less than most people here think. I'll go with the warren buffet position on iq that 130 is all the mental horsepower you need. beyond that there are diminishing returns and it becomes much more about your life habits and other qualities (eg leadership, social skills, 'winning friends and influencing people', integrity, etc) in terms of determining your life achievements and general happiness. i don't know most of the people itt but I guess daut already has enough iq

Hmm, first i was looking a bit at the Don Juan, but it just says you become really good, and only at seducing women, hmm. It'd be much more awesome if it was like an overall theme, like, sick presence, charisma, super enjoyable to be around for everyone. So now I don't like that one that much anymore!

I think maybe Sleepless, Smart, MMA, Revive, short life, and tiny money!!

8+6+3+5+2+1 = 25 I think, perfect!

I think a lot of people would start regretting not taking the smart pretty early on, and i'd just get worse and worse over time.

sleep less, smart. dont even need the rest pf the points

Sleepless, Smart, short life, mma, tiny money, radiohead or just void the last 5 points. Just pray there won't be an apocalypse and live through that 1 year.

"MMA (3 points): You instantly become really good at martial arts. UFC level (but that won't make you the next UFC champion)."

I might have worded it poorly. You do get the SKILLS of an mma pro, but you don't get his body. So yes you can take on 99.999% of people, but not mma fighters.
That's honneslty not a skill i would personally not use very often. Would have been more usefull in highschool, but recently i pretty much never have any sort of opportunity to get into a fight.

Also i think people potentially over estimate smart. I haven't done any study, but i've heard a lot of geniuses lived the worst lives. A lot of people here are already pretty smart, that would give you the near genius level. I probably should have made it more costly tho.

Then, i think people under estimate long life. Even if your healthy right now, that doesn't save you from the increasing rates of cancer and heart disease. Also, in this century, its not even unlikely some people could die before 80 from war or climate changes etc. This thing also means you won't get unlucky from car crash or plane crash or whatever. For an average 25 years old who lives a rather sedentary life, i definetly think its way more +EV to take long life rather than sleepless. Also note that it guarentees you live HEALTHY till 80. A lot of people do get to 80, but with a lot of diseases or disabilities.

Radiohead is mostly usefull for someone who works long hours in a somewhat boring job where he can't listen to music. But even then, i can think of a few cases where i could want to use it (boring family meeting, dentist, shower, etc). In my case, i don't consider my job boring, but i would probably still use it

Don Juan.......12
Small money..7
Sleepless.......6

revive, basically the price of anyone's life in the whole world, worth less than 100k(small money).

time skip: you get the option to control how much pain/suffering, boredom, you can even skip sleep on certain days when you dont feel like it. no more traffic, no more having to sit in the shitter every day cuz i really enjoy that, no more having to clean(Cuz i want to experience that in my life). You guys can experience all the shit stuff in life that is that meaningful to you. ill just live a life full of bliss and ecstasy. when i feel do need to experience shitty stuff again ill just press play again.

smart: because smart people make money easily. people pay 100k+ for an education/student loans but would forego being instantly smart for small money (person above)

sleep less: i guess for more time and doing stuff i like.

who the hell's dumb enough to take big money LOL

I'd go for long life, revive, time skip and well 1 pt left so I guess tiny money lol

I honestly don't understand people picking Smart either, do you consider yourself dumb at this moment? do you really believe adding 40 to your current IQ will make your life a more fulfilling one?

If I had 40 more IQ points I'd probably cure cancer, create spacecraft to colonize nearby planets, and run the table on jeopardy.

if ur retarded and have like a 80 IQ, pick smart and all of a sudden you aren't retarded. Worth it. If you are of average intelligence at around 120, well now you are a relative genius - this might be the smallest jump but still worth it IMO. Then if you are already at 140+ the IQ points will make you among the top 20 smartest people in the world or whatever and give you the potential to solve next level problems most people barely comprehend.

If you are at an average IQ you're already "smart" enough and don't need a higher anyway ( Don't believe me ? read about Lewis Terman's research on kid geniuses throughout 40 years ). EQ s really underrated, but that's cause there isn't a real way to actually measure it i guess, would probably be easier to solve NLHE - w/e

Only reason I wouldn't take big money instantly is cause there s - Sleepless and Revive there and i'd fill up the rest 14 pts with w/e except radiohead and timeskip which are ridiculously useless

This. Except that 120 isn't average. That would be above average.

smart
sleepless
revive
mma
tiny money

Long life, sleepless, and timeskip (skip work and cardio)



Money picks - Money comes and goes, I've been a millionaire and I've been homeless neither really changed my life

Revive - Was real tempted to pick this one up in the event that something ever happened to one of my kids

MMA - Don't consider this to be much of an upgrade from where I'm at currently

Don Juan - Already get more than my fair share of women

Radiohead - I have an ipod for that

Smart - MENSA tested 156

If you take MMA, you have to also take timeskip. So you can timeskip those gsp workouts unless you want to be this guy:
This is an old boxing champ, not in best condition, but has mma skills.

Wasting points on mma imo, like what if the attacker has a gun or a baseball bat or a samurai sword?
Where in your life do you need mma for?

(you want to the be the champ? you want to be that guy?) Wasting points on mma imo, like what if the guy has a gun or a baseball bat or a samurai sword? Where in your life do you need mma for?

I can honneslty think of ONE time in my life, after highschool, where it could have potentially have been usefull.

It was back when i lived with my ex. She had the brillant idea of having a roomer with us for money reasons (something i would never do ever again).
The thing we didn't know is, he was mentally unstable. So at one point, he was getting annoying and i was rude to him, and the guy decided to threaten me.
back then, i simply decided to really try hard to avoid a fight, which worked, but it kinda made me look weak to my ex, which i didn't like.
Had i decided to fight him, maybe i would have won, but maybe not. Back then, i didn't start working out yet, and this guy was all mad all stuff and probably was way more pumped for a fight than me.
With MMA, i probably would have been like, ok go ahead try to fight me, i would then proceed to submit it and make him look like a fool.

10 milli straight up

Easy pick for me. I choose Longlife+ShortLife+Sleepless. That gives me minimum till 81. Plus I save about 10 years of sleep time. The prospect of being guaranteed to be alive and healthy till 81 is an insane advantage in whatever you want to do. Money, girls, music, being smart. etc etc. I don't care.

So uh, what's the definition of "purposely trying to die" and "decent health"?

Would I be able to go long life + smart + short life, sleep 2 hours a day max, train/work 20 hours a day, do all of the steroids, then go wage a one man war on ISIS, NK, or whichever despot regime knowing full well I won't die because I'm guaranteed to live decently healthy until I'm 81? That's basically a superhero right? So long as I put the training and effort in so I'm not purposely trying to die.

If so, I want to be a superhero.

If not, long life + time skip + revive + tiny money. Basically guarantees a long life filled with happiness.

Long life isn't suposed to make you a super hero.
It means you won't die from random stuff like car accidents, cancer or plane crash.
However if you purposely engage in highly risky things on purpose, you could still die.

Dont forget you'll adapt to most you'll get and no longer make you happier. So, being smarter and being sleepless seems best. Revive is cool becouse you know you have that unique ability, even if you never use it. Cant do anything else with 6 points remaining so I go for MMA, tiny money and short life.

smart 8, sleepless 6, revive 5, mma 3, shortlife 2, tiny money 1

Damn.

But I can still use it to sleep 2 hours a day with no repercussions right? Same with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc.? As long as I don't OD I don't need to worry about the long term health consequences?

you'll be a healthy zombie

Revive (5)
Radiohead (5)
MMA (3)
Smart (8)
Tiny Money x 2 (2)
Short Life (2)

Didn't pick TimeSkip because not sure how it'd work, though I wanted to.

Short Life seems weird, but only 2 points so whatever. Seems better than another $20K.

Cool game

That would be a negative health consequence of no sleep and an unhealthy lifestyle. You don't just "feel like a zombie" for no reason, after all.

I mean, living until you're 80 is cool and all but I think the advantage of it is in being able to take advantage of guaranteed decent health until you're 80.

Or maybe that makes it too op.

Do you save it in case one of your kid dies?

Combo's well with long life + short life imo.

Use it for wife or kid as an insurance policy.
Could also use it on someone at the forefront of some ground-breaking research for the betterment of the world.

edit: wait, if that person lives until I die. Does that uh...could I collude with a rich young billionaire and go long life + short life and turn them into a super hero? Batman that doesn't die until the supervillain discovers his one weakness, me?

edit #2: oh, I guess there's nothing in there for being maimed or paralyzed or anything like that for revive. Just they won't die until you die. Ok fine, no super heroes.

Well, I'm not a doctor, but I'd assume so. I don't mean just feeling tired either, you can "feel tired" and still be decently healthy...I mean the actual really serious negative effects of prolonged lack of sleep, overtraining, or substance abuse.

definitely not. Would love for that type of motivation/focus/desire/will. I think I would pay 6 points for it.



A lot of the list just didn't apply to me. And some of the skills are invaluable.

-Small money wouldn't be life changing for me, so there is no reason for me to take that. Large money prevents me from taking completely invaluable skills, so even though it would 10x my net worth, I view it as the much lower EV play.

-Don Juan would be an improvement for sure, but I am already pretty good with girls. I don't pick up 10s left and right, but I do date lots of quality girls. I would get this if it were cheaper, but it is just too expensive.

-I think you guys are looking at a guarantee to live to 80 as invaluable, but I look at it as an almost guarantee for healthy first world born people of our generation. 80 is not old. Technology is improving fast. If there isn't some sort of AI takeover of the world (not gonna go completely down the rabbit hole and start conjecturing what might happen), I think I will live to well over 100 and have many good years, not significant years spent as a hunched over invalid. Don't think this is necessary.

-radiohead is completely worthless. wouldn't spend a point on this.

-don't want timeskip. this effectively shortens your life, even if you are skipping things not palatable to you. almost none of us will experience something truly torturous for short periods of time. and if you haven't seen "Click", it is one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. Not an exaggeration. Don't want that skill at all.


That basically just leaves sleepless, smart, MMA, tiny money, revive which add up to 25.

-I think many of you underestimate how valuable smart is. Sure complete child geniuses live lonely, unhappy lives full of awkwardness, but we are grown ups being enhanced. Your memory, problem solving, and learning abilities will all improve significantly. This is totally invaluable for anyone, regardless of current level of smartness. I do think IQ is a complete nonsense number, every test is slightly different or targets different areas of ability, and I think that (even if we could somehow theoretically come up with these numbers accurately) someone considered having a 200 IQ under today's conditions is way more than twice as smart as someone with a 100 IQ. Regardless, adding whatever 40 IQ points means is a shitload of ability gained.

-Taking revive seemingly contradicts what I said about long life earlier, but you have to look at it in terms of probabilities. I think I am very likely to live a long life, let's say 95%. If there are 15 people in the world that I care very deeply about, the odds one of them doesn't live a super long life is now .95^15 = 46%. The likelihood of this skill becoming useful increases by 11x, AND it is 3 points cheaper. Seems like an easy buy to me.

-Sleepless is invaluable as well. Immediately adds 25% extra to your lifespan, whatever it is.

After taking those we would have 6 points left. I think the best way to use them is MMA, short life, tiny money. Not that those skills are that great, but they are better than radiohead or timeskip.


Keanu brought up some interesting points with regards to long life/revive, but I just took it as you won't get a fatal disease or in a fatal accident. You are not immune to overly risky behavior. Don't think we will be super heroes with long life alone.

so you don't think you could get cancer in 5 yrs from now Daut?

not impossible, but extremely unlikely. I'm in close to perfect shape, I'm 31 years old, have no existing health problems, eat very healthy, and every single day we get better at treating cancer. 10 years from now it might be mostly treatable. Not concerned at all.

Really astounded at how many people want timewarp and what they would use it for. For skipping cardio, really? That time can be spent thinking, analyzing, and learning. Or you know, you can just fast forward through your life and miss out on all that time you can explore the endless possibilities of your mind.

To be fair, let's say you were going to think of a genius idea while running, you will still get that idea if you skip it.

But i def agree with you i wouldn't skip jogging. If i skipped that, i bet i would be skipping like 30% of my life lol

I think its only good for really unpleasant events, such as painfull hospital tests, or like, Hunt might have wanted to skip his saturday fight lol.

But tbh, those kind of things happens so rarely to me i wouldn't spend any points on that.

Ok so, to be honest with you guys, i didn't put a lot of thought in this topic, it was a quick idea and i did this topic in 30 minutes. I didn't copy this from anywhere.

As a few of you pointed out, smart 8, sleepless 6, revive 5, mma 3, shortlife 2, tiny money 1 is arguably the best choice possible, and we're seeing a lot of people pick it.

However, i would like to eventually make a new version.
The idea would be to have all wishes be of an approximate equal value (like 350K), and everybody ranks them in order, from best to worst (or just post his top 5, not sure yet). The idea would be to try to have all choices be so close that people have true dillemas. This would show in a much better way people's true values.
However, so far, i only came up with 7 good ideas, most of which are already in this game. So if you have good ideas, PM me.
Might even add some sort of mini game with it but haven't decided what yet (like guess floofy's choice or something).

Revive is the most important purchase. Reviving: Jesus, Mohammad, Leonardo Da Vinci, Beethoven, MLK, Tupac, Steve Jobs or Tesla? Does the most good for human race.
Time Skip is good if you don't enjoy a good amount of life. Worth more than 10 million in some cases.

I think it can be sort of secretly pretty solid. Not enough to give away any of the heavy hitters but for it's point value it's where it belongs.

Skipping mundane tasks isn't really what I would have in mind for it. I think, for myself at least, the biggest thing that holds me back from learning new skills is forming the habit. Let's say I want to learn a new language; I struggle to sit down and devote a significant period of time every day to studying it, but with time skip all I would have to do is just sit down with duolingo or whatever else and time skip that hour for a couple months and the habit is formed effortlessly.

You could also stretch it to things like fears. Afraid of rejection? Walk up to a girl and say hi, that's it. Time skip the 2 minute convo and if she rejects you, it no longer matters. Again, for myself, I absolutely hate going on planes to the point where I refuse to go on one unless it's absolutely 100% necessary. Time skip would solve that problem for me and not only open up a lot more traveling options but also free up a whole lot of extra time.

Learning skills and developing habits becomes a breeze, things you actively avoid are now entirely open as possibilities, any form of "paranoia" is simply no longer a concern. All without having to skip significant periods of your life. I think it's fine where it belongs at 4 points.

that isn't how it worked in click. you don't remember anything from that time period. and you just kind of zombie your way through things. don't think you could form habits using that method

Oh, never saw that movie.

So basically, you remember nothing (gain no new skills or knowledge) and are super mediocre and whatever you're skipping through?

I guess it's still applicable if you have a particularly annoying issue that's easy to skip through but otherwise pretty awful. One point more and you get revive, two points and you get sleepless...timeskip needs all the help it can get.

Click made it work in a way where it was really bad. the guy didn't even really have control of it. i wanted a cooler version. Like, i you have to study and you skip it, it actually happened just the way it should have.

But even with that cool version, i still think its overrated. I can only think of few parts of my life which were truly worth skipping.

if this game were reality, then it is likely many others would also be playing and have this as a reality, then the optimal way to play would change. for instance don juan would go way up in value because now lots of guys can get all the girls and normal guys would have much more trouble. smart would go way up in value because without it you fall way behind other people. revive goes down in value because some people would choose long life and others would have revive.

You forgot big money might lose value. I think a lot of people would pick it, which would create a lot of millionaires. This would increase the demand of goods, so the price of goods would rise, then salaries would rise, and money would lose value.

I seriously hate cardio, my only though during it is how much I hate it and myself for making myself do it, so I coupled it with sleepless figuring I could just timeskip two hours of cardio in early morning before I start my normal training schedule.

Big money or sleepless...

My grandmother died in her 80s, my other grandmother is alive in her 80s, my great grandmother died in her late 90s, my grandfather is closing in on 90 and in great health (still works, and is doing CONSTRUCTION WORK on his house BY HIMSELF), other grandfather is in his 90s by now I think, and still alive (never met him, he's a bit insane politically). So my genes are OK and I should have a good chanec of living a long life.

Only know two people who have died, and they were both fairly old, so bringing them back doesnt seem as essential.

In addition, there's been a lot of breakthroughs in anti-aging research, and with 10 million dollars I think there's a decent chance I could get in on some of that and 'live long enough to not die'.

Small money is a waste. Tiny money too. MMA is a waste because the fun is getting to that level through training. The IQ one is tempting, I could be pretty awesome at poker with a lot less effort, but I think ultimately 10 million allows for the kind of freedom where I could just pursue any interests I have at a leisurely pace without worrying about efficiency too much.

Radiohead - I have a smartphone, so no.

Don Juan - I have a serious girlfriend, so not needed.

Sleepless is the big challenger, since it would let me get so much more out of my days while simultaneously being able to combo with some of the other options, that aren't super attractive to me on their own, together with sleepless might provide a higher utility.... For example, had to stop training MMA lately because I don't have enough time...

But, 10 milly, I'd suddenly have the time. So yeah.

10 mill and financially secure for the rest of my life and the rest of my future childrens life.

Cardio is fun, perfect time to listen to podcasts. Yeah I don't get the timeskip one at all... I have fairly fond memories of even super tedious shit like being stuck in a chinese airport for 12 hours because of a typhoon, with a burgeoning flu.

Timeskip is the most -EV thing to pick ever, time is the single most precious thing we have and the only way to improve is to use it optimally Picking Timeskip is like picking -100IQ or instant death

I mean... lets get real. Revive is under valued at 5 points.

That's how I feel about cardio(job) vs training/fighting(career). Sparring or Drilling techniques I can't get enough of. 6-8hours a day 6days a week and wishing I still had more time. Cardio can't end soon enough, longest ~2hours of my life everyday. I've tried music, podcasts, switching it up with running/biking/equipment everything else, nothing makes me hate it any less. I don't even get that "runner's high" that everyone talks about, I can push myself til I'm throwing up and boardline blacking out but I never feel anything close to how people describe it.

I'd take Revive, find someone who is willing to die and be revived, and use revive on them. Then I would be the first person in the world to have an official answer on the "what's after death?" topic and I'd cash in on that.

With the rest of the points I'll take Long Life, not because I want to live for a long time, but because it guarantees you will have your health, which is the most valuable thing in life. Since I have 5 more points available, I'm rich and guaranteed to be healthy for the rest of my life pretty much, I guess I'll go with the iPod-in-your-head thing, since it sounds fun and I'd be able to blur out noise and annoying people at any time in favor of something I enjoy hearing.

I thought the stipulation for revive was that the person you revived, wouldn't be aware you had done it?

If I pick revive can I revive people that died long ago?

Cause its about mentality and pushing yourself. You ll never get pleasure out of it unless you change your perception. When you push yourself and you see the results you definitely feel better. Plus only cause its called "runner's high" doesn't mean you get the psychological effect out of running, its about physical exercise, I'm guessing you first train hard and then do your cardio, no wonder you won't feel the psychological boost, you've already experienced it

If you are training 6-8 hours a day 6 days a week and still doing 2 hours of cardio a day, you are doing it wrong. Definitely inefficient use of time spent training. Not to mention it is severe overtraining. 3 hours of technique/sparring a day should be more than enough.

I was pushing 10-12hours a day for about 6months before I had to go back to work. 6-8 really isn't that much when you break it down, 2x 90min BJJ sessions, 90mins Muay Thai, 90min Sparring, then a few extra rolls/rounds after classes. I know a lot of fighters and that's pretty average. I feel great afterwards, still have tons of energy for work and activities/sports with my kids, I could easily do a lot more if I had the time.

The way I read it was that the person is revived and unaware that you have done it. It doesn't say anything about you not being able to tell them. And just because they are unaware of who has brought them back to life doesn't mean they haven't experienced non-existence (or an alternate existence/life after death). I think my interpretation was fine since it was worded "wouldn't be aware that you have done it, rather than unaware that it was done to them.

Reviving someone doesn't mean he will know whats after death. Let's say absolutly nothing happens, the person will just be like "huh, i don't remember anything from after my death?". But even if what happened after death was heaven or something, it doesn't mean you will remember it after reviving. I'm not sure there would be some sort of fusion between your "after death" brain and your life brain. Logically, there shouldn't be one.
