What is the opposite of human?
A mountain? A shrimp?
Hmm... No... A human is a conscious being... Therefore, the complete opposite can not be conscious. I physically exist, therefore the complete and total opposite does not.
Not terrible fucked or blessed... Just very very inactive? And inexistent?
So the most intelligent, thoughtful, empathetic person on the planet is now President? The entire government is filled with caring, diligent, honest people?
Finally some good luck. I'll probably be fine, figuring my own shit out won't be too bad.
I think it depends on if they retain their memories. I often think about how sad it is that we only have one life to live, that so much of our existence is based on where we happened to be born. It live a completely different life, a different childhood, a different continent - I think we'd gain so much empathy as a species.
There’s a fascinating book series, a trilogy beginning with Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett. The magic system is sort of like writing software that effects the physical world.
At a certain point in this series, a group of people learn to link their minds, and they talk about how impossible it becomes to hate people when you’re able to completely empathize with them, their experiences, their weaknesses, etc.
Well, I'm mildly autistic with absolutely zero charisma, and follow through with my moral and ethical beliefs almost to a fault. I'm probably "smarter" than average, but nowhere near smart enough for it to offset any of the previously mentioned issues.
So I'd be dumb and charismatic at a minimum. Sounds like I'd be set for life and quite happy.
I would be rich, charismatic, handsome, well connected, influential, happy, and dumb as a brick. I would be blessed; the rest of you I don't know so much about.
a bit thin. pretty short. kinda dumb. kinda poor. youngish. single. no pets. far right. unemployed. illiterate. bad with computers. homeless. lesbian woman. shoeless. naked. long hair and pretty much zero body hair.
Hmm, I would be a male, short, fat, conservative, idle, angry, gay. I guess I'd get a 4chan account and a big truck I had to climb awkwardly into?
Would lose most of what I like about myself but not sure. On things where we are middle of population we would keep those? So unless wildly brilliant or gorgeous you would not end up terribly stupid or ugly, right?
I would be "Ymmel nav Loser". I'd think I'm actually attractive, but everyone hates how I look. My entire body would be covered in hair, except for the top of my head, the spots immediately above my eyes, my chin, my armpits, and... that spot.
Even though I'm already fucked, let's just say I would be even more fucked.
So now I'm a black woman, am tiny but have a great metabolism and look fit without having to exercise. I've a healthy body and do not believe in therapy therefore I don't have any mental issues. I love my parents and love spending time with them. I hate gaming and anime but am crippling addicted to cigarrettes & alcohol. I don't question myself and don't have an inner monologue. I'm loud and have to allways tell everyone what I think and will debate my opinion for hours even if I'm wrong. I'm horny for money and love capitalism, for the right amount I would sell my own kids. When voting I always vote conservative and when I'm not sure what to vote, I vote the opposite to what the labour party suggests.
I'm queer but I hate wokeness as it's against the way of Jesus. I don't believe in sex before marriage therefore I married some guy because of his money (love is optional in a relationship) and I have at least 4 kids with him. He also beats me and I support his descission as I'm convinced it's a mans duty to discipline his woman.
All in all I would be a pleasure to be arround with /s
I'm now a very low-level Western European "right-wing" political influencer? I guess I could turn the lights on in some brains and kickstart some hearts in that community, idk?
Still human, but someone who has lived a life that is completely and totally antithetical to you. Someone who would be your mirror dimension evil twin.
Not necessarily the opposite gender, just like if you are al young white conservative man that lives in the middle of America, you might find yourself as a, um, I don't know, a middle aged Liberal Chinese man.
Basically, someone whose viewpoint on life is so antithetical to yours that if you were suddenly transported into their life, you would not know how to function.

Opposite in which dimension?
Consciousness? I'm not conscious, I don't care
Wealth? I get rich, yay
Happiness? I get sad, nooo

Yes, you have the memories of the body that you have inhabited, but you also retain your original memories.
