Yes, but not really because I have a lot of regrets and more because primary school would be so fun if I was able to completely breeze through everything.

I hope restarting my life doesn't include the breast feeding stage.

Absolutely not. And for good reason.

There came a point in my life (about 13 or so) when porn was no longer exciting. A strange thing to cite, I know, but what that realization caused me to notice was that I missed the innocence of my youth; a time when new things were exciting, and there was still a sense of discovery and wonderment to the world. That, of course, is long gone now. Granted I'm only 25, but now I'm forced to attempt to relive that part of my life vicariously through my children. It's disheartening to say the least.

So yeah, I would restart my life. But not with the knowledge I have now. That would just ruin the experience.

Yes, immediately.
I have this mental state where I spend every day lamenting the decisions I got wrong and the opportunities I missed.

There's a few things I would change, but I'm young have at least 3/4ths of my life left to live. So ask me in lets say 20 years and I might answer correctly.

But if I had to answer now, being in the same places as I was younger. Sure, I'd enjoy reliving some of those things with some more... favorable... outcomes.

I have vast plans for my 'reboot'. I would focus on my studies, have the courage to ask that pretty girl at school for a date, and become wildly rich from winning the lottery and playing the stock market.

After earning vast sums of money (hopefully well into the billions), I'd be able to establish a magnificent research institute on some tropical island somewhere, where I could lure the best and brightest scientists in genetics, physics, nanotech, cybernetics, alternative energies, etc, to live and work on whatever they wish to study the most. I'm not going to demand profitable ventures - I want things that will change the world!!! Limitless free power! Quadraplegics winning the *regular* Olympics! Mentally handicapped kids getting into Mensa!


Although, unless I am very careful, I think there is a serious risk of me creating a Rapture-esque 'paradise'. But damnit; nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Yeah, but I'd rather live this life first. I hate to sound all depressing, but sometimes this life feels, wrong to me. Like I expected more. I'd like to see what good there is in it though, even if it's not all I wanted.

Um, it depends. I'm still young, but I think I would start over if I could change a few things (paths I took, gender I am, choices I made). If I could, then yeah I would in a heartbeat.

Ask again when I'm about to die. Right now, nothing's gone terribly wrong that I can't fix or get over.

I would do so in a heartbeat. Even if I could not possess the general amount of applied intellect that I possess now, I would at least keep the general experience I've gained from dealing with other people over the years. That would be more than useful in guiding me towards a more fruitful life.

I would not want to completely reset my life. I would rather have a cheat code to enable me to go to the levels in life that I want to max my score on. If I had to clear everything at once, then no. If I had the opportunity to modify what I wanted with what has already transpired, then sign me up. I don't want to go through my childhood of not being able to escape, its far better to not change anything than go through that again.
Indeed.
Being a child would be so boring, specifically when you didn't have the mind of a child.

That said, the huge unnatural advantage you would gain through knowledge and further mental development is tempting. I can't say I would go out of my way to prevent disasters though, what would people think of a small child or teenager who seemed to be in the know about major terrorist plots or natural disasters?

Yea I would probably go back and do it again. I hate the person I used to be and the possibility to change that would be a great one. However, 19 years is a long time to spend on correcting what has already transpired.
