          This question illuminates something less easily described, the way that experience, knowledge, has to be *embodied*. It just isn't possible to be a six year old with even the knowledge of a twenty year old let alone an old fool like me. You would go mad.

          That's an easy call. I'd go back and start over. I'd run in high school and college, rather than wait till 34. It'd be tricky because the technology wasn't ready when I graduated in '92, but I'd lay the groundwork for starting The Facebook at Harvard years before Zuckerberg did.

          Doesn’t have to be, the first time I went to college there was a 13 year old kid there, a 6 yr old kid that knowledgeable could go on TV or get some kind of publicity deal. People would read your books in a few years and be like, “a 10 year old wrote this?!”

          It’s a better than usual version of these common thought experiments. Usually there are not enough constraints or they are too easily evaded. (Right amount of constraints is whatever makes the cash payout tempting but not decisive; i.e. no immediate obvious dominant strategy)

          16/ so, on the topic of "I travel back in time and then I lose my wife/kids" - I've thought of this. The problem with Replay and Rewrite: Loops in the Timescape https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38531463-rewrite … is that they're hedonistic "This time I'd bang chicks like a drum!"https://twitter.com/shlevy/status/1482095515248570372 …

          These scenarios are much more fun for those without kids. With 10 years to plan I can probably figure out a way to woo Alyssa again when we're like 16 or whatever even though I'll be kind of also late 40s. No way to get our kids back though.
