You're the only person to have explicitly stated you'd give more than abillion
- two people went up to that point then stopped there. I'll state
here for the record that I'd give it to them regardless of the amount as
well. I'd also give them a wish, or as much looks, intelligence, or
lifespan as I could.
The main point was that if most of us aren't willing to give a stranger a
billion, even when it costs us nothing, it shouldn't surprise us that others
aren't very enthused about our plans to become superhuman superpowers.
