Would you do it all over again? 1

I think many people would say yes to being able to turn back time and redo their lives knowing what they know now. But would you go back and experience everything exactly the same without knowing you've already experienced it?
It FEELS like a do-over, but really you're just experiencing everything you've already experienced.

I was watching home movies from when I was just a little kid, and watching myself on screen, knowing what was in store for that little kid...I broke down crying.
I always thought I had a good upbringing, but watching the home videos...damn. Shit was rough, and it didn't really get better. I got better at dealing with it, but life is not all sunshine and rainbows.
Looking at my 6-year-old self and knowing what he was going to have to go through, all the pain, anger, confusion, heartbreak, depression, anxiety, stress, hopelessness...don't get me wrong, there were good times too. But damn. No way I'd go back through that.

Yes, I would. I have thought of this many of times.

I mean your first post quoted me saying that the experiences would be exactly the same. Sorry for being harsh, that's my biggest pet peeve online is people don't read. What's the point of answering if you don't even pay attention to what the question is?

If all there was for me was this life, then yes, totally.
But this life was too hard and unrewarding so far to want to eternally rerun exactly how it was it if I could have another life.

No. That would be like Groundhog day, but worse; you wouldn't know that you could experiment with different outcomes!!

Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

Yes i would, literally had this thought today without seeing this thread first. I like my life and my memories so much. I figure i could live this life on repeat, up until now at least.

Yes! I would would love to be a kid again and be able to spend time with my loved ones who passed away.
Sure theres been very dark times that i would never like to experience again.. in my case a 5+ years hardcore meth addiction, but being able to see my loved ones i think would make it worth it.

I voted yes because I could relive some moments that I know I can never repeat (like the Underground Rave scene). And since I wouldnt know that Im reliving it (retrograde amnesia), the whole experience would be new once again. And I think thats pretty cool

Well no, this is from a guy who's gone through a lot in life, but can't say I would trade it. You didn't say what outcome is. It could be far worse than anything now, & as for butterfly effect, who knows how things would turn out, for in the last 25 yrs have been very intresting from prison to hardcore drug addiction to meeting my soul mate getting run over by a drunk driver and left for dead. Then recovering from that got into motorcycle accident met my Fiance which died this 2020 from Covid then falling asleep at the wheel almost died again, but no I wouldn't do it over no regrets.

heck no! i had a hell of a rough start, but i've learned to start loving myself, to dream impossible dreams and aim for them regardless of how impossible they are. i have goals and i will reach them, regardless if i do in this life or my next reincarnation, and i'll be damned if i lose my memories from this one along the way! there's no way i'm letting myself get trapped in a time loop!
if there's one thing nature abhors at least as much as a vacuum, it's a perfect time loop you can't escape from. one of my trips showed me that. another influence from one of the other possibilities, other multiverses causes interference to knock you out of that loop, even if it's something as small as an inspiration or a dream to change your mind on something, set you on a different decision. at least, that was the conclusion i reached when i had that thought experiment. whether that's true or not, i let you decide for yourself. i will say though, from what i can tell of those trips, consciousness is weird as hell, there's many states of it, and time is... flexible.
and oh god, the hall of mirrors in consciousness is strange. a thought bouncing back and forth, getting reflected over and over - you can even distort it a bit each time, like carnival fun house mirrors, then release it in its distorted state, magnify or shrink it before doing so. i suspect that's the use of it, in fact - you could probably use it to say, shrink and distort an unpleasant memory until it's no longer terrifying but laughable, or correct your warped and weak self-image to something proper - just be careful not to overinflate it.
