See? that's what i like about this topic... the more you think about it, more abstract it gets.

Would you rather have access to all of the space and none of the time, or all of the time but none of the space?

It's madness, Madness i tell's ya!

If I pick space, could I restrict myself to only certain dimensions? That might be fun.

Movement through space is inversely proportional to movement through time.
This is just straight up not true and actually completely nonsensical. You seem to be attempting to allude to special relativity. However, your statement assumes some kind of special rest frame in which space exists against which absolute movement can be measured. This is classic Newtonian thinking and is absolutely wrong. Things get even worse when you take General Relativity into account and realize that gravity alone is enough to cause people to experience time differently.

Up vs down, pick one. The question isn't so much abstract as it is meaningless, perception and therefore sapience relies on the existance of both time and space.

Therefore, any opinion I or anyone else had on the matter is irrelevant as none of us would exist in either case. At least, not in any way we understand.
