lets say tonight when you sleep.. you get the option to press a "reset" button.
-if you press the button.. when you wake you... you find yourself back x years in time
-> your can yourself pick how many years...

all your current years.. you will remember them (memory of now intact)
your life will be exactly as it was than.. but you have your memory of now nobody else has.

in a way it be as all your years since than were "a mere dream"

yes you can pick different chooices from that moment in the past.. but as each chooice different than you made originally WILL influences the universe.. by doing so the outcome gets more unpredictable the farther you derive from your life now...

would you press the reset button.. and if yes.. how many years of your life would you reset?

Yes, enough years that I'll be 7 years old approximately. Armed with the right knowledge, I'll see to it that what I'm only doing now is done when it should've been.

I am who I am because of the life I've led

No

It would just prolong the final rest and there is no guarantee that you would meet the same partner and have the same children.... it would most likely make one go mad

if you get caught in the loop of thinking I have suggested you'll never come to that conclusion; your need to press it again will make it impossible to consider deviation. The losses are simply too great.

In a sense, the desire to press the button at all guarantees a life of forever pressing it.

Like the refresh button on a dead topic, or the lobby browser of an old game.

that's kind of a microcosm of the wukong arc huh. the journey to the west, then the return.

the condition of reality in an illusory reality.

I likely would press it.. but unclear for how many years.

-I have few people my life now I did not know 10 years ago.
but beyond that.. I would not yet have met them and with a reset.. no guarantee we ever be friends.

so for me it's not even "go back make ton of money"

-> I tried things and failed and than was to old.. so in many things by the time I discovered the right path.. you were to old.
***
resetting below 27yo.. so back to 2005.. will bring me again below the age so many studies and the army allow recruits to join.
I know now what did not work.. and have experience to make things work better.. which if applied before things were unrecoverable.. could make me have more the career and life I wanted..

resetting even futher... to before I was 12.. I could undo much more..mistakes I made.. + my knowledge now would make me a prodigy (adult knowledge + child body..) perhaps I could avoid ever being placed in a boarding school.. and who knows what that change? and I sure can handle interactions with kids and bullies now much better.. and would totally roast them.. ended the being picked on years before it was in my lifetime and might even gain much more friends (as I was for a long while much to passive.. taking initiative in inviting others to get stuff going took well untill my 20's doing that as a young teen wow.. that would massively change things.

even shorter term... resetting until 2007..
before I met my last ex.. I could ether try to make that relation actually work.. for sure I made mistakes in that 15 years... or better yet.. avoid those years since I know now it never worked out and find somebody else without adding so many years?

who knows.. I might even somehow reset to when I was 16yo or before.. and retry to get the one that got away (I never stood a chance with her than.. but I now know what to do to alter that.. and hey I happyly would press reset 50 times till that one would work..)

and yeah I suppose knowing the future and invest my money in such a way I be a billionaire would not hurt either.. it does not buy happyness.. nor the wife and friends I want.. but it sure does not hurt (houses are crazy expensive in my nation and a nice old farmhouse offgrid living 1800 style.. would no longer be just a dream... and if you have the money to just start any project you desire.. people will flock to it.. much easier to just force things than to get a group of 100 people to all believe in your dream.. invest time and money in it as you want.. and build it together...

the nice things : I miss people in my life.. my dad, my favorite uncle.. my sister.
(sister died in an accident car did hit her.. and doctors misassed her injurity.. had they assessed correct.. she could still live today.
uncle had heart attack when he was alone.. had there be anybody near he could have years.
my dad's death most likely could not be prevented..
(intestinal infarct.. he already had an inner layer tear of his aorta 2 years earlier.. that has a 85% mortality rate.. he was lucky to survive that one.. still it weakend his hearth so much.. he did not survive the operation for that infarct 2 years later... theres not much that could be done to help him survive that.... he should have lived healthier decades earlier.. and even if I tell him that.. well he just won't..

so it be terrifying knowing the day my dad would die in advance even if it be great to see him again.
I would perhaps save friendships I had earlier in life.. but I would loose friendships later in life if I reset more than 15ish years...

finally fysically.. while eating clean now.. I have gained weight after 21yo.. and loosing it took efford and still it's toll... I also have damaged teeth (fillings) from an accident where somebody pushed me... and have scarring from accident with electricity in my 20s.
being able to undo all that.. and keep my body in better condition is attractive.

still for moral reasons I must press the button.. I could prevent so many terrorist attacks and murders or disease outbreaks.. (even if my accurateness will get less from the point of departure) that I would have to bite the bullet just for that one alone too.
