Life2.0

What if you could live your life all over again?

A complete life, from the womb to old age, lived in one sitting. You decide how hard to try, where to go and whom to trust. Chance decides the rest. When it ends you see its shape, and you may live it again in the same world.

Session: 25–40 minutes · pause or leave at any time
Simulated span: 0 to 80 years · a life may end earlier
Decisions: Every five years · the gravest stop time
Languages: English · ไทย · 中文 · 日本語 · 한국어

A session in four steps

01
Settle into the chair.
Your body rests. A simulated lifetime unfolds around you.
02
Choose your starting conditions.
Random by default, or a body profile, an upbringing and ten starting points.
03
Live, and read the turns.
Childhood plays by itself. From ten you set your effort and face decisions.
04
Return and look back.
Where you lived, what it cost, what it taught. Then try another path.

Three things keep a person alive

BodyPhysical health. When it fails, the life ends.
MindReasoning and emotional skill, built by practice.
ContentmentIkigai. Low contentment wears down the body and the mind.

At the end you receive a route map of where you lived, your Ikigai in four readings, and the lessons your choices taught.

Every number is an authored game rule. Not a psychological test, a forecast, or medical or financial advice.

How it works

Choices compound. Chance interrupts.

A life runs on one clock. You can pause it, slow it or speed it up; it never runs backwards.

A life, stage by stage

0–10 · Childhood: Your family decides. Each year is a short chapter about care, school and money at home. Some city children grow up with grandparents in the provinces.
From 10 · Effort: Spread ten points across body, reasoning, emotional skill, creativity and drive. Revisit them every five years.
From 15 · Money: Your own account, separate from your family's. Everyday living takes most of what you earn; what you save becomes your runway.
From 20 · Routes and places: College and a field of study, work, a trade or your own venture. Move to Bangkok, the provinces, Singapore, Tokyo, Boston or London, and back.
Decisions: Love, marriage, children, a hard boss, a loan, a funeral abroad. The gravest stop time until you choose. Many return years later.
The end: It may come early. Nothing guarantees eighty. Then you may live again in the same world, under the same storms.

Session

Time: 2×, 3×, 10× or 20×. Childhood plays by itself; each later chapter is five years.
Reading: Standard, large or extra-large text. Reduced motion keeps every event but removes animation.
Languages: English, Thai, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean, switchable at any time.
Sound: Original music, Small Hours (CC0), off until you start it.
Devices: Phone, tablet or computer. No download, no account.
Saving: Your life is stored only in this browser. Starting a new life replaces it; your last life is kept for comparison.

Conditions

You did not earn your starting line

Random is the default, because that is how birth works. You may set three conditions instead. None of them decides your worth or your outcome.

Starting conditions

Body profile: Female, male or intersex. It changes how you look, not what you can become.
Upbringing: Constrained, middle or comfortable household money. It sets family support, school and where you are born.
Birthplaces: Khlong Toei riverside community · an Isan rice village · a Bang Na apartment block · a Pak Phanang fishing town · Samut Prakan · a walled house on Sukhumvit.
Households: Two parents, a parent and a grandmother, two mothers or two fathers. Stated at birth.
Starting shape: Ten points across five attributes. A game constraint, not a biological law: practice changes what you can do.
Later places: Singapore · Tokyo · Somerville, Massachusetts · London. Pay and living costs change with the place.

Care & consent

Difficult themes: Bereavement, illness, debt, a hard marriage, losing work, depression. Every branch keeps recovery possible.
No verdicts: No score for a good life. Marrying or not, children or not, staying or leaving are all valid; the game shows what each opened and closed.
Your data: No account, no analytics, no backend. Your life never leaves this browser. Clearing site data deletes it.
Money: Amounts are game rules in baht. They are not financial advice.
Health: Effects are authored. No medically specific odds, no drug benefits.
Bodies and minds: IQ and EQ are game indices, not tests. Inborn traits never decide a career.

The record

What you take home

When a life ends, the session returns a record built only from what happened. Nothing is invented to fill it.

What the record shows

Route map: One line per place you lived, your path in amber, moves as interchanges, with study, love, loss and coming home marked.
Ikigai: Four readings: what you love, what you practised, what the world got from you, and whether income covered your costs. Money alone cannot fill it.
Body, mind, money: Health, wellbeing and personal net worth across your ages, with the fastest change marked.
What it cost later: Each past choice that came back, with its age and amount.
Lessons: What each decision was teaching, linked to the essay it came from.
Runway: How many months you could have lived without income at 60.

Research

The neighbourhood: Metaphorical. Nearby buildings represent parts of a life, not a real map.
Inheritance: Inherited differences and environments interact. Heritability describes population variation, not an unchangeable percentage of a person. Deary et al. · Pinker, The Blank Slate
Personality: Big Five traits, reasoning, emotional skills and empathy are distinct, and personality can change. Stieger et al.
Lessons: Twenty-three decisions come from the author's essays at nonharvard.wordpress.com.
Universe 25: An enclosed-mouse experiment, not proof that prosperity causes extinction. Calhoun
Prior art: Content of 1in8b.life audited for comparison. Not yet modelled: dengue, job loss as an event, pregnancy. WHO: Dengue · WHO: HIV
