John Fenton @jhfentonReplying to @MorlockPThat'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.2 replies 0 retweets 23 likesShow this thread -

T.E.W. Fuller @TEWFullerReplying to @MorlockPDoesn’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?!”2 replies 0 retweets 28 likesShow this thread -

John Barnes, probably not the one you thought @JohnBarnesSFReplying to @MorlockPIt’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)1 reply 0 retweets 12 likesShow this thread -

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 …

Replying to @MorlockP @NoLongerBennett
They are also usually ameliorative: this time Id value my real friends/true love/real vocation, all that. But if you make genuinely different choices, how soon before your prior experience stops working?

after you write the 3 or so Directive 51 novels that I'm dying for, this sounds like a good next project!
