Ha! You assume I'm poor?! OK, it's fucking true damnit
I'd choose The Underdog
Oh and the why... As nice as it would be to have $$$ it's in my core to care about others and know who they are. I generally get along with all personalities & look to see the best in everyone. Money & intellect are game changers but it's not the most important part of life for me. For me it's forming deep bonds with other humans. Right before I die, I sure as hell will not be thinking of anything else other than the ones I love.
The Prodigy, as it would bring riches which could then be used to topple that society and replace it with something better. By doing so the early death wouldn't much matter, as reproduction could then happen, and the bloodline could continue.
In case it wasn't clear, I know that this is my OFFSPRING.
Although 1 seems to have all the abilities, they have no "finish" capability. You know those huge bodybuilders with tiny dicks? Yeah, that analogy. All show, no substance.
2 because not only will they never be ill, they can reproduce. I mean, let's be honest, that outweighs a lotta things. Materially poor, but happy.
No, but eliminating the worry about hunger, transportation, health costs, shelter and other modern necessities can greatly facilitate goals towards happiness. Lack of money, for example has a big impact in terms of strain on relationships or even an ability to have one.
I won't argue about it removing those strains because you're right.
But it's perspective based too. I would suspect that there's generational bias too.
For instance, ask a young rich (and the other qualities) person what they want and I'd say they'd pick 1. With the opposite being true for a rich old person.
Same for 2, ask a poor young person and I think they'd pick 1. Ask a poor old person and probably 2.
Knowingly choosing a life for someone that's going to end up in terminal illness and they won't even be allowed to reproduce (being rich) is something I'm not going to subject anyone to.
Even though it propels the family into riches, the whole money will be spent on treatment for the last 10 years. Doesn't sound like a good investment to me.
Although, a parent's typical goal is to provide for their kids and family, subjecting anyone to terminal illness just for money is not a sound option to me. Even though there will be material comfort, there will be no mental peace.

Definitely poor. I like fucking and having babies. I’m poor anyway. Also who would want their children to live 10 yrs in pain before they die.
The answer is easy for me.
So basically happy rich for 30 yrs. pain and suffering and rich for 10.
Or poor and make the best you can and be happy. Work hard and start charging for the reproduction. Lol.
"This gene set will always propel the family into the riches."
Reason enough in that statement. Rather a short fruitful life with the knowledge the next generation shall be successful. Who tf wants to live to be 70 anyways?
