    Really? The only way I’d do it is if it was a repeat…

    Just imagine all the money you could make on stocks knowing which companies will succeed in advance. But money isn’t the endgame…imagine what you could DO with that money. All the lives you could change, all the tragedies you could prevent…assuming you have the willpower to not be corrupted by it

      That wouldn’t be the same conditions. You didn’t have foreknowledge about things the first time through.

      If I could have foreknowledge, that would change things.

        I suppose OP didn’t clarify if we’d remember anything in this scenario, I just assumed we did.

        I think I’d still redo it, though. Even with all the bad stuff that’s happened in my life, it’s still better than how most people live
