I feel like going back in time for it is kinda cheating. The real question is would you do it knowing what you know now but without knowledge of the future.
I’m busy right now, but yea if you told me I had to it’d be cool. New Game+ that shit.
That’s way more difficult. Kids these days are told their future’s increasingly screwed and uncertain… They can’t even enjoy suffering being nagged to “get a job”. Our knowledge and skills largely come from a bygone era, where much of it is not worth so much any more, bearing no relevance, holding no traction, to the scenarios looming.
“If you got turned back into a baby” is the original question and is very much open to interpretation, even to the point where it more closely means “turned into a baby” before it means “sent back to when you were a baby”.
Alsp I literally acknowledged that there are two questions and explained why I thought that my interpretation was more interesting. R e a d.
Is distinct from “What would you do with a second chance?” (<- What I consider the first question of the original post, since the lemmy post title’s seen before the image’s text.), and the question in the image “You get turned back into a baby but you retain all your skills and memory, what do you do?”
“all your skills and memory” is not the same as “had all the answers”.
It’s daunting that these seemed to get conflated as synonyms, for what it suggests of that flavour of naive realism… the extreme of arrogance in equating them. … Or maybe it’s just lazy hyperbole. But given that response just then, I doubt it.
“All your skills and memories” includes such hits as knowing when to get into Bitcoin, knowing what career would take off and know when to get out if need be. It would be going to back and meeting the right people at the right time. Practically speaking, you would have all the answers.
You got a lot o’ them big book-words for someone what ain’t quite gettin’ their grippers ‘round them com-plex ideers. This isn’t that complicated, you’re just embarrassed, maybe quit before you get even further behind.

OP has said in a comment here:
Yes, it is more difficult, which makes it a more interesting question than “what if you had all the answers?”
That’s an entirely new question you’ve introduced there.
“If you got turned back into a baby” is the original question and is very much open to interpretation, even to the point where it more closely means “turned into a baby” before it means “sent back to when you were a baby”.
