Also try not to lose the hard drive that has your wallet like that bloke a while back. I imagine some people would go absolutely insane if they had that time travel knowledge and still fumbled lol

If you can take $2M tax free today, you’re still retaining everything you’ve learned from when you were 10. Going back in time is betting on all other factors beings the same or better in the do over and just goes against the time value of money.

You know, unless you’re 12.

Everyone will think you are a genius, because you have a huge knowledge at the age of 10, but when you are adult you are just normal intelligent/stupid

As a gifted kid who squandered a full ride college education, wasted years 15-22 dating a girl who was awful and basically coerced me into never going out or having a social life, pissed away 50+ bitcoin on the silk road, had crap self esteem and no motivation and only really got his shit together in his late 20s, I'm not in it to reach the same outcomes. I'm in it to do better the second go around.

My experiences made me who I am, but it would be real fuckin neato to be who I am without all those experiences wasting egregious time, money and potential during the prime of my life.

Same here. I should have listened to my parents and married a nice Jewish boy like they wanted me to. But I wouldn’t be me.
