"Shall I Begin Again?" Opening Premise
Have you ever wondered, I mean really sat down and thought, if you would be a different person had the events in your life been different?
Would you be braver? Kinder? Crueler? Quieter? What would you be like if you'd had different parents? If you'd been a part of a different sport or in a different club? If you'd been bullied, or not? If you'd gone to that school or taken that job? If you'd stayed in that relationship?
How would you be different? Or, would you? Are our lives and our beings determined by our experiences or our biology? Or maybe something else entirely?
Nature.
Nurture.
God.
What is it that makes us who we are?
Was I destined to always be this awkward? Would every version of myself be afraid of commitment? Would I be a freer person if I hadn't been raised in a culture of shame about my dress, about my interests, about my sexuality?
What if I told you there is a way to answer these questions? A way to find out whether our outcomes are destiny or merely circumstance. What would you do if there was a technology that let you explore your other possibilities? Would you use it? What if I told you there was a cost? Would you still?
