In scenario 1, if you change homes you can move between them to transport your property, but you cannot leave once you’re settled in. You can only move once every 15 years. The deal also includes programming languages, conlangs, extinct languages, and alien languages if contact with them ever occurs.

In scenario 2, you forget how to read overnight and are never able to learn it again for any language. All travel fees and gas money is free and you may also enter restricted areas like military bases. If the technology for far space travel is invented within your lifetime, you may also go there. If you are ever imprisoned, you can walk out of the facility unharmed.

In both scenarios you live to be 95.

    In scenario 1, can I still go out into my yard?

    Eh, probably scenario 1 either way. I can spend the next 15 years making bank doing translations of books I want to read anyway. Maybe get a little academic clout working with dead languages. Make enough to build a house with a nice waterfront view, with a few acres of forest if I can go in the yard.

    When I get bored of translations, I can try software development. Being fluent in every programming language should make me pretty productive.
