This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

    If you could take a year off to do anything, with $100k cash, then time-travel back to right now, what would you do? You have to spend money or it goes away. Can’t bring anything back in time machine. Only mind and body changes come back with you. No external impact persists.

        You could do anything from go on a murder rampage to learning skills to getting fit to getting married. Basically a one-shot Groundhog Year. A one-time trial run of next 365 days with full undo button.

        I’d go back to 1972 Hong Kong and pay for a year’s worth of private jeet kune do lessons from Bruce Lee. I wouldn’t mention anything from my time, except to casually mention the risks of analgesics and taking other people’s prescriptions.

        Err no. You just get to do the next year. No other changes. Feb 4 2019 to Feb 3 2020 and then you snap back to midnight tonight 😎

        No fair cutting it short. You have to do the full trial year.

        Working on a thorough response to this...365 days worth. Funny how you could probably just simulate this and get 90% of the benefit.

        OK, I only had time for Days 1-14 tonight. I'll post the fantasy timeline in this thread as I have time. 2/4/2019: Deposit $100K in the bank, keep working, and celebrate in style with my wife, spending $400. 2/5/2019: Keep going to work, post a job listing for a housekeeper.
