would you sell you're soul to go back in time to whenever you choose? (with no other chatches)

[zorrandur]

The more i think about it, the more i probably would. I'd go back to the day I graduated high school. And i should also note that this is WITH having all of your current day knowledge. So i'd do a ton of things differently...

What say you escapist forumites?

 

[BloatedGuppy]

I would sell my soul to have a job proofreading your typos.

But no, I wouldn't want to go back to any particular era in history. If nothing else, medical advances alone make the present day more palatable than any other.

You'll have to define soul a bit more. Does that mean i'd be dammned, emotionally dead or what?

At any rate i probably wouldn't, I dont have any (major) regrets (yet).

Like back in time... anywhere? Like.... 85 million years ago? Please clarify!

 

[the spud]

Like, any other time in my life? So when I go back to being a toddler I will be four again? Sure. What has my soul ever done for me.

 

[Zeroandx]

But what exactly are the repercussions of not haveing a soul?

 

[Crazy]

I don't have one to begin with.

 

[Blackmagic1515]

Probably not. Now is the happiest I've ever been so I see no need to return back.

So, in the assuming you mean any time in my own lifetime, and also assuming it would be all my current knowledge/skills basically over-writing all previous knowledge/skills, I'd wait till I was on the verge of death (hopefully at a late age in life) and then go back to the point where I'm just starting school or whatnot and live my life over again.

That is, of course, if there was no catches and I would always retain such knowledge/skills no matter how much longer I lived for.

However, if we're going on the theory of time being a single line in history, by going back in time, anything I do radically differently (say, not changing schools when I was 13) would cause me to live a different life entirely and thus the knowledge I would have gained would never have happened, therefore I wouldn't be able to retain it.

Or maybe I'm just thinking too deeply into this...

You could go back in time to tell yourself not to go back in time! Think about it, the only way to keep yourself from selling your soul is to sell your soul! It's so obvious.

Pretty sure selling your soul is a big enough catch in and of itself... unless that's not a concious afterlife and it's just handing over.... the energy to someone instead of it going back into the world or recycling it into the world... may reincarnation is that... So selling your soul could be really positive... if *insert benign deity here* is using these souls to.... build something to better the world for those still there. In which case.. have my soul. Not sure I'm that desperate to be reincarnated anyway.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Sorry but I had already sold my soul years ago just to beat this really hard boss (stupid I know).
So would we go back to the past and relive it again but with the alter choices or is it I can keep popping in and out somehow?

 

[chaosyoshimage]

Question, can I use one of the souls that I have acquired from someone else? Also, 1,000 posts for whatever that's worth...

 

[Supertegwyn]

You really have to define what you mean by a soul.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

You're going to have to define what a soul is, and what purposes it serves.

I'm with you on that one. If I get sent to hell as a result? Besides, I need to sell my soul to get a job in IP law in the future.

 

[mjc0961]

Sure. Since there isn't actually such a thing as a "soul", if someone is silly enough to "buy" it from me, they can have it. I get to time travel for free, so sure, why not do it?

 

[zorrandur]

Ok, a soul as in your immortal soul. Like selling your soul to the devil eternal damnation soul is what i meant. also i was thinking more along the lines of going back to any point in your life. not quite 65 million years ago. (although hangin with dinosaurs would be awesome)
