Random?

No "insider" info of any kinds?

Unless you struck out in life or have a disease now, there's no reason to.

If you don't retain any knowledge, then the same thing's going to happen.

Yeah, I'd take an extra 30 years of life...of course.

Your memories are who you are.

This is basically a mental death.

Wouldn’t everything end up the same way again? Why would anything change?

Since you're not 30, you also run the risk of never being born.... so....

No, because I wasn't even born yet.

My answer would be no because then I wouldn't exist.

No.

What’s past is past and I don’t have the patience or temperament to do things all over again on the off-chance things end up better next time around.

Then absolutely not. I've been through some shite that I wish I never had. I've taken L's that sucked. But I'm winning, and it's only getting better.

That would take me back to birth almost. I could do a lot of things better. That's for sure. Not sure it's worth it though. There are some thing I dont want to relive.

Yeah, the only way this hypothetical makes sense is if you retain your current knowledge. Otherwise you're just reliving the same shite with no chance of it getting better.

I would say hell yea. But my kids are pretty fricking awesome, and I love them so much that I can't take them out of the equation.

I wouldn't go back just because I would be so scared my life wouldn't go back exactly like it is today. I would do small things differently, but overall I am living my dream life.

If you don’t retain any knowledge how do you know if you went back?

Then no. I was an idiot in my 20s. I was lucky but it could go the other way.
