    What is the opposite of human? A mountain? A shrimp? Hmm... No... A human is a conscious being... Therefore, the complete opposite can not be conscious. I physically exist, therefore the complete and total opposite does not.

    Not terrible fucked or blessed... Just very very inactive? And inexistent?

    So the most intelligent, thoughtful, empathetic person on the planet is now President? The entire government is filled with caring, diligent, honest people?

    Finally some good luck. I'll probably be fine, figuring my own shit out won't be too bad.

    I think it depends on if they retain their memories. I often think about how sad it is that we only have one life to live, that so much of our existence is based on where we happened to be born. It live a completely different life, a different childhood, a different continent - I think we'd gain so much empathy as a species.

    There’s a fascinating book series, a trilogy beginning with Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett. The magic system is sort of like writing software that effects the physical world.

    At a certain point in this series, a group of people learn to link their minds, and they talk about how impossible it becomes to hate people when you’re able to completely empathize with them, their experiences, their weaknesses, etc.

    That part really stuck with me.

    I'd be a carnivore, right wing religious moderate. I'd have friends, community, happiness and wealth.

    Hmmm...

    Well, I'm mildly autistic with absolutely zero charisma, and follow through with my moral and ethical beliefs almost to a fault. I'm probably "smarter" than average, but nowhere near smart enough for it to offset any of the previously mentioned issues.

    So I'd be dumb and charismatic at a minimum. Sounds like I'd be set for life and quite happy.

    Guess I'll find out what it's like to be a young conservative lesbian. Going to be a wild ride. How would I even get dates?!

    a bit thin. pretty short. kinda dumb. kinda poor. youngish. single. no pets. far right. unemployed. illiterate. bad with computers. homeless. lesbian woman. shoeless. naked. long hair and pretty much zero body hair.

    Doesn't sound great but I could make it work.

    I would be rich, charismatic, handsome, well connected, influential, happy, and dumb as a brick. I would be blessed; the rest of you I don't know so much about.

    Hmm, I would be a male, short, fat, conservative, idle, angry, gay. I guess I'd get a 4chan account and a big truck I had to climb awkwardly into?

    Would lose most of what I like about myself but not sure. On things where we are middle of population we would keep those? So unless wildly brilliant or gorgeous you would not end up terribly stupid or ugly, right?

    Perfectly fit, healthy, six pack abs a penis most women find attractive, a full head of hair and a million dollar bank account?

    Fuck it, I'm in.

    I would be "Ymmel nav Loser". I'd think I'm actually attractive, but everyone hates how I look. My entire body would be covered in hair, except for the top of my head, the spots immediately above my eyes, my chin, my armpits, and... that spot.

    Even though I'm already fucked, let's just say I would be even more fucked.

    Opposite in which dimension?

    Consciousness? I'm not conscious, I don't care

    Wealth? I get rich, yay

    Happiness? I get sad, nooo

    Spacial position relative to Earth's core? Not sure exactly how, but probably dead in some way

    I think everyone is equally fucked/blessed in that scenario

  • I'm now a very low-level Western European "right-wing" political influencer? I guess I could turn the lights on in some brains and kickstart some hearts in that community, idk?

    Still human, but someone who has lived a life that is completely and totally antithetical to you. Someone who would be your mirror dimension evil twin.

    Not necessarily the opposite gender, just like if you are al young white conservative man that lives in the middle of America, you might find yourself as a, um, I don't know, a middle aged Liberal Chinese man.

    Basically, someone whose viewpoint on life is so antithetical to yours that if you were suddenly transported into their life, you would not know how to function.
