I feel my current state of knowledge combined with my 20-something body and face would be an unfair advantage. I'd not feel right about that. I'd be a fox among the chickens.

If I could go back in time and re-live life, correcting all my mistakes, I would do it. I would NOT like to be young again in today's world, and be forced to endure an additional 4 or 5 decades witnessing the continual degradation of humanity and the biosphere.

If I could take my ancient brain with me, I might consider it. But if I have to give that up as part of the deal, no way!!

I like not being suicidal so my answer would be a definite NO.

Me too just turned 70 and everything is packing up; wrists are weakening back is aching I have dry eyes and need a hip replacement but wouldn't go back to twenty for all the Coffee in Brazil. I have never been bothered about how I look (mostly like a tramp) Worn make up twice when I was forced to for other peoples weddings- And yes the freedom part, even though I was always 'that strange girl' and later 'that strange woman' I'd hate to do it again. I enjoyed a varied life and still have a bit to go and that is satisfying enough - My father used to say "enough is a feast" and I agree with him.

Yes I would!!! Lol....I love the added wisdom and experience etc..however given the chance...I would gladly return to my 20's or 30's

A time when there were no aches or pains...and nothing I couldn't do...no illness..no lack of energy or stamina...I am happy as I am..but I would be lying if I said I wouldn't cease the opportunity to jump into that time machine...?

Absolutely. With the wisdom and maturity I have now, it’d be much different.

I would not change much but there are things I would do again for sure ?

Only if I can take with me the knowledge I have today about life, other wise, no I am happy where I am at!

If a time vortex did exist and this time line would continue as it is and unbroken, then maybe, before I met my now ex wife and had my Great kids knowing they would still exist in another reality. If not, then no I would not try to change anything and accept the path I have chosen.

Since I can't, I wouldn't even consider it.

I'm with you on this one Rob. I had my shot, and I don't miss the work-for-a-living part either. I wouldn't want to raise my kids again, or get the divorce again, or have shitty bosses again, or any one of a dozen things that I am glad to be over and done with. I am living how I want to live now, and that's quite satisfying. Have to concentrate on keeping healthy, that's the prime directive now.

Knowing what I know now? Heck yeah. Where do I sign up?

That depends, can I take the lottery winning numbers with me?

I'd just end up back a week

If I could go back knowing and understanding what I now know and understand, as well as somehow remembering everything I knew from back then and have since forgotten -- THEN I might consider it. But I wonder what I would then have in common with others my age, if I were this covert 61 year old in a 16 year old body or something along those lines?

This may actually be a practical question in the future, if everyone gets the magic pill that makes you not age. If you are 20 and everyone you might have a relationship with looks 20 but might be 250 years old for all you know ... how would one deal with that knowledge? Could a 250 year old even sustainably pretend to act like a 20 year old? How would it change people to be in absolutely no hurry whatsoever to marry or anything else? It's an interesting mind-game I play with myself sometimes. I suppose there's a novel in there somewhere if I had the creativity and discipline to do the necessary world-building.

I’m with ypu

I had lots of fun in my 20s. Yes.

I would go back to my early twenties so i could listen to the doctor and stay healthy instead of taking the path i did

If I could go back and do a few things differently, I certainly would.

It has its pros and cons but definitely something to think about.

No .

Depends remember what I have learned and experienced? Then yes. If no then no. I would go back to before I got sick and not do whatever caused me to get sick. If it was something I done that made me sick. If not then at least after recovering I would go to college has my sickness was what stopped me.

If I could retain all of the knowledge and experience of events, I’d be satisfied to start over from January 1 of 2015. I’d change the world.

I would definitely take a do over on my 20s if you mean I get to keep my current knowledge/skills and go back knowing what I know now. If I have to give up all memory of what I’ve struggled through in the last 11 years and go through it all again, then no thanks.
