I’m 42. Does everyone get a pill? My wife? My kids? My parents?
Jumping back 20 years puts me out of sync with everyone I care about. I’m not sure I’d even want it.
Like, if I go from 35 to 15 do I go back to school, clear student loan debts, etc?
Because redoing the lead up and college with the maturity to actually try would probably be good.
I’ll take it but only if the manufacturer brands it NuGame+
- That way you can go back with your current knowledge and do it better the next time around.
Realistically, 40 - 50.
But I am also tempted to say 20. I could be the most talented baby ever.
24 seems a decent time. Returning to the brain plasticity of a 4 year old with all of the memories and knowledge of a 24 year old would produce a horrific intellect and potential. Society would leap forward in any task you decide to advance. The indescribable isolation may well be the only issue, but piles of money heal many forms of hurt. See: Magic Johnson
38-41ish. It’d be awkward to de-age below the appropriate local age of alcohol/consent/whatever, but that aside you wanna do it as early as possible. It’s 20 more years of having a functional body, no reason to delay when you might randomly get hit by the bus tomorrow.
There are a surprising number of people here under the impression that they knew anything by the age of 20.
I don’t take it. I give it to my cat, who died one day after her twentieth birthday.
:(
The day I turn 40 probably
I’d probably go back and beg for puberty blockers
Take it at 30 so you’re physically 10 but mentally 30.
42
Always the answer.
