Imagine what freaks we would be if we went back with what we'd learned. It would be impossible to fit in. You'd have to hide your real self.

I wouldn't want to go back. Maybe a little way back, a decade or two I might like to go back awhile, with the understanding that I know what I know now. If you include specific facts it would be very easy to make a ton of money and also to avoid certain mistakes, while still keeping the "learning experience" I got from making those mistakes. But there still would be a downside. The biggest would be that all my current relationships would be gone or changed. Also if I went back your "little way" I would be in my teens or twenties. Unless I could go back while retaining what I learned the first round. Yes I think that would be the point. Even if you couldn't keep the specific knowledge (stock trends and other things that could make you money, plus major mistakes you would want to avoid) it might be beneficial if you could go back and at least retain your education and wisdom. I wouldn't want to go back to being a teen without any of the knowledge/experience/wisdom I have gained since then. Tim
