You would have to explain the whole gig to every copy and I just don’t think you could convince 1 million people who have memories of their friends and families and lifestyles to co-operate in starting a new society from scratch, they would just fight each other and bring back capitalism and probably blame whoever their political adversary is at the time for ending up on New Earth. Humans with Old Earth memories would be impossible to work with.

But Idk I maybe they fight for 20 years and decide they might as well give it a shot with the humans that are left and then your society starts, hard to really say. None of its ethical, thats for sure.

I bet there is a crunchy mom that can tell you what plant to eat, but there’s like a 70/30 chance its gonna kill you instead.

We definitely have aliens in spaceships flying around in the real world.

Also I don’t doubt that technology can evolve well past anything we know because you would start pretty close to where we are now, but you don’t get magic powers you still have to have scientist and tech bros figuring shit out and inventing new shit and YOU have to teach at least the first few generations how to do that. You’re not just snapping whatever you want into existence, and the aliens are not helping you. I don’t doubt you can get to “Fully automated luxury gay space communism for everyone!” over 1,000 years, but someone somewhere is gonna have to put some effort into it.

Why do I assume people wouldn’t contribute? It seems reasonable that at least some people will want to smoke weed instead of building houses, but idk! I literally said that I wasn’t sure and asked what the solution was because this is fun little prompt that I am curious about and want to hear everyone’s different perspectives on. I think that asking follow up questions is kinda reasonable.

The party trick thing reminded me of a book series called Magic 2.0 that I read a while back . This guy figures out that the universe is a simulation and basically hacks the code; now he can jump through time as he pleases. He goes back to the Middle Ages and brings plastic wrap with him and calls it clear paper, which convinces everyone that he’s a wizard. It was a fun read but got dumb around the 3rd-ish book.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

and you have all the knowledge of what cults already took off like wildfire. Mormonism for example, that shit is gold.

Your humans can procreate so in 1,000 years there will at least a few 100 million, provided you don’t wipe them out with a flood or whatever.

This works if everyone is willing to put in the effort to contribute, how do you handle those who are not willing or able to do so? I feel like everyone is probably able to make meaningful contributions to a society in one way or the other, but what about those that just don’t wanna? Do you think the number would be high? I’m not sure.

All natural resources we have now on Earth are available on New Earth but they are all raw as humans haven’t touched them yet. Same goes for animals, the ones that are extint strictly due to humans are back, but the ones that exist strictly because of human intervention don’t exist (sorry that means most dogs!) The state of the human mind is tricky, importing current humans with their memories is problematic for tons of reasons, so I think it would be better to program them all with like basic knowledge and beginner traits the way you would a Sim.

Yeah they are, its like the main part of their job. Some are just really shit at it.

Your lifetime would be 1,000 years, but I agree, even if you spent the first 50 years raising a village to then raise all the other babies, it would still take way too much time to get it right. So we would either have to pluck copies of real life humans, or program them to know and think what we want them to. I’m not sure which I prefer.

I like this idea. Being new humans the concept of “God” doesn’t really exist to them yet so you can make it anything really. Like instead of God you can just have Dave. “Oh, thats Dave, he’s got some wild ideas but he’s the reason we all exist so we like make him Tacos on Tuesdays.”

Oh the like-minded thing gives me a dilemma because ideally I would want them to be blank-minded and be taught by you from scratch, but that doesn’t really work for adult humans they have to have a basic level of intelligence, otherwise it would take years and years just to teach them how to properly human the way it takes babies. We can’t start them all as babies. Hmmm.

Do you think you would make yourself God? Because you can pop in and out as you please, it would be very easy to convince the populace that you are all-powerful and all-knowing.

Oh for sure, I am jacking up at least the first 500 years.

No. You were abducted alone. You can still contact people via the internet if you want, but good luck convincing them to believe you.

I am so jealous that there are people who get to do this. It must so freaking cool to live in a house that you personally designed. Closest I will ever get is The Sims and I can’t even play that without crashing the computer these days lol.

Wow you know how to do all that stuff right now off the top of your head without books or instructions? I am impressed. I feel like the best I would be able to do alcohol wise is distilled prison hooch. Like I know the basic priceable but not the recipe.

Because advertisers will say whatever works to get you on their platform.

Also its hard to make money for doing nothing anywhere when you don’t have an established fanbase.

The chances of that do seem to be high.
