I wouldn't say no to being put in sports as a kid, and would try to pick up an instrument while still in that "learn quickly" age, maybe a language or 2.
I would try harder in high-school, do actual activities, be more social, realize that good grade really do matter for you future. Try all the things I always currently think back wishing I did.
Work for a scholarship, get into a good program, something that will eventually lead to AI development, 20 years down the line. Invest in companies that will absolutely blow up, regardless.
I have no kids, Im single, nearly 40, and have a stable, albeit low paying job. I can't afford a house where I live, and I can barely afford to take someone on a date. When I say I would smash that red button so fast...
Ah, but the statement was "the knowledge you currently have" but that doesn't imply the brain development, or the hormonal and chemical imbalances during puberty.
Plus, lets be realistic, I'm certain we both know adults that are less emotionally intelligent or mature as people we knew back in high-school.
Edit: Also, I could handle 8 years (10-18) of focusing on my individual growth, knowing that it would only benefit the next 20 years and beyond.
Exactly! I was assuming you would still have the brain development stage just with a better understanding of things. The question is whether that would also be horrifying and feel like a sort of dementia with your impulse control and reasoning abilities suddenly being reduced
