  1. Do I get to pick my mother?

  2. We talking rebirth with continuity of memory or is this a blank slate?

Do I get to pick my mother?

This is the essential question. Like, if I could be born into a super-wealthy family, the actual time might be less important.

Ha ha aye right Louis the 17th ๐Ÿ˜‚

Maybe become the 16th instead. You could even vastly improve life for your subjects and still live in obscene wealth. Might even avoid the guillotine that way

No, it's only you who's going on a journey

... what?

Do I get to choose who I am born to? And is this rebirth or a blank slate? You didn't answer anything!

You get to choose who ypu are born to and it's a blank state

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There is no discernible difference between being reborn as a blank slate and dying. Either way, I cease to exist. No thanks.

My plan is to live forever or die trying. None of this reincarnation crap!
