I think I am perhaps too young to restart my life, maybe in 20 years time I would be inclined to do so.
Would You Restart Your Life?

Absolutely! I've thought about replaying my life and making way better choices. Of course, I'd love to make more mistakes since that's primarily how we learn (most of our "street smarts" anyway), but I think that my life would be significantly better if I established better habits earlier on.
Uhm... I guess.
I mean, given I'd already know everything, sure, I'd like a little time to memorize some stuff that'd be useful, but...
On the other side, restarting from scratch, like, As a baby being able to remember everything but not do anything?
That'd kind suck. If I was given lottery numbers though, you betcha it'd be worth it.

Yes. The best years of my life were from 1995-2001. The intelligence would make them even better.
I feel you on that. I'd love to go back and change some of my decisions. I feel that I know that if I changed what I'd done at certain points in my life, I would be much better off at this stage in life.Red Schuhart said:
Besides that, I'd be a 3rd grader with a firm grasp on Calculus; what's not to love about that?!?
I don't know, maybe. If I did I know a few choice people I'd punch in the face instead of just putting up with their bullshit.
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.
I think life is identical to karma games, (Mass Effect, Infamous, etc.), you need to playthrough multiple times to get it perfect.

Up until recently i would probably consider it. My life wasnt all sunshine and lollypops. But now i wouldnt unless i kept all my memorys but only remember them at a certain age where i would be able to comprehend them.
So i wouldnt have to learn them again and i could leave notes for myself and others leading them on where to find me and i would leave messages for my so called protoge or Me 2.0 to cheer him up during sad points of his life up until the point i reset myself which might disturb my little mind but it would be for the greater good.
But now that i found meaning to my life i would just passs it onto to the future generation.

Well, hindsights 20/20 so i would probably go for it.
Of course, there are certain things i would rather not repeat, like working two shifts as a dishwasher in a busy restaurant last summer, but i guess if i'm clever enough i can work my way around them.
Still, it would be great to re-experience and also get the most out of my last relationship. With hindsight, i'll know what to do and what not to do, how i could have advanced things quicker etc, before i would have to inevitably dump her.
I'd also change what i've done at university, because university is one of those places were the first couple of weeks tend to virtually determine your social life for the next three years. I would not miss a certain society meeting for one, and try to get into a relationship with that girl from the other flat whom showed an interest in me but i didn't in her because i thought we were too different. If only i had known that fuck all would happen to me and relationships in the 2nd year...
Really i suppose, i would rather re-set my life to re-start from January 2007. Prior to that, i don't really have any regrets or anything i would want to change.

Erm, hell yeah. You do realise the potential that would have? With my current intelligence I'd be able to revisit my formative years. I immediately get my lifetime of knowledge in addition. That's huge, I'd be able to do incredible things with that kind of ability.
Even if I were unable to change major events to stop bad things happening I could do all sorts of useful things for this world. So yeah, I'd do so in a heartbeat.

No, the best part of life is the surprise of things. It sounds sapy but if it weren't for the unexpected, my life would probably suck.
I think in all honesty EVERYONE would unless they have it made already. Knowledge is power, and having the knowledge to see how situation will play out because you have been through it all before will benefit your greatly. You wouldn't(maybe) make the same mistakes that you made the first time.
Yeah, definitely. The ability to erase every mistake I've ever made while keeping the experience, while using my maturity to overcome situations that would make life hell for a regular person? How could anyone say no to that?
Bingo, now, if you had 'get out of jail free card', so to speak, so you can restart your life just once, would you use it?Damien Black said:
I'd probably wait another 15 years or so until I can go "I know exactly what I want and how to get it" or see if this life works out as well as I hope because I wouldn't restart my life if I end up in a happy long-term relationship with a stable job and a good circle of friends. That'd just be a waste.
Also, being super-baby would be weird.
