Would You Rather Time Travel Physically Or Mentally?
If you could travel back in time, would you rather:
- Go back physically as your current self, meaning there would now be TWO of you walking around at the same time ie your younger self and present day you
OR
- Go back into your younger self’s mind with all the knowledge, memories, regrets, lessons, experiences etc you have now?
Think about would knowing everything ahead of time actually make life better? Or would it ruin a lot of the moments that made you who you are?
Curious what everybody picks and why.
Edit:
You can only time travel once.
For physical time travel, let’s assume there is a mechanism that handles identity.. so you’re not just a ghost person with no records. The system would essentially integrate you into the timeline in a way that lets you function normally (money, housing, work etc.) without breaking the world.
