In scenario 1, if you change homes you can move between them to transport your property, but you cannot leave once you’re settled in. You can only move once every 15 years. The deal also includes programming languages, conlangs, extinct languages, and alien languages if contact with them ever occurs.

In scenario 2, you forget how to read overnight and are never able to learn it again for any language. All travel fees and gas money is free and you may also enter restricted areas like military bases. If the technology for far space travel is invented within your lifetime, you may also go there. If you are ever imprisoned, you can walk out of the facility unharmed.

In both scenarios you live to be 95.

    I choose scenario 2. I’ve met people that couldn’t write or read and they had a pretty good life.

    Also if I’m travelling to places where I don’t know the language there wouldn’t be much of a difference, I just need people to tag along for a free trip and do the reading for me.

    That’s tough, I’m inclined to go with the first one but I’d definitely have to invest in the best VR setup possible. On the second one, is there a set amount of time between travels, or can you be a nomad and live for free? Would food be included as a travel expense?
