If you woke up back in time tomorrow as a 1 day old baby with all the knowledge and experience you have today, what would you do differently in your life?

   And don't say "Well, I'm philosophically enlightened and I wouldn't do anything differently because all my decisions made me the person I am today!" Just shut the fuck up. Shut the FUCK up. There is no possible way you could do everything the same. Imagine being in first grade and all your classmates are fucking first graders. Have you met first grade children? You would not be relating to them in the same way, or playing with them in the same way. You would be ridiculously fucking smart and capable for your age. There is probably a lot of stupid shit you would avoid just like you avoid today. And maybe some you wouldn't. Maybe you'd be a 9 year old alcoholic or some shit, unable to cope with the reality of having to live your life again. Maybe you'd take advantage and end up being a founding member of SpaceX or some shit. I don't know. I want to hear what you guys think you'd do. Growing up all over again would be a pretty intense experience.
   
   Ok go go go type stuff

   I sometimes wonder whether literal reincarnation is real, and that 9 months of solitary confinement in the womb ultimately drives you mad and breaks your mind so hard your memories and personality become irreparably shattered

   I think it would be pretty fucking awkward for literally everyone involved in your life if you were a newborn baby who had adult knowledge. What the fuck? How would they even work ?

   That is horrendously terrifying thought.
   
   There is actually some evidence that babies can develop a sort of ptsd from the womb.

   Well for the first year or two you probably wouldn't be able to talk because your body would be underdeveloped.
   
   After everyone would probably be like 'what the fuck'
   
   Then when/if you start predicting things you know will happen?
