If I can go back in time to get reincarnated, can't I just get reincarnated as me?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Who says you haven't already done that already? .... or a dozen times? ... or an infinite number of times?

Didn't we already have this conversation before?

Yeah, I agree with that - if I could opt to be whoever I want, I'd want to be reincarnated as myself again. I can't imagine a more wonderful life or a better childhood than what I was lucky enough to have. I'd love to go around again if I had the chance.

I had a shitty childhood, but at least I'd know what to expect.

I guess I lucked out, my childhood was pretty ideal. My parents were pretty well off, we had a nice house away from the suburbs in a more wooded area, with a creek on both sides and fields with wild horses and lots of huge oak trees to climb.

It was such a beautiful area that I could explore and play in it all day long - it was just great. I don't think kids get that much of a rural experience anymore, the place has since been overdeveloped and it doesn't have any fields or open spaces anymore.

I had a shitty childhood. I'd rather be born to some nice swedish couple. There was no good way out of the evangelical hellhole I started out in.

And shit, I got relatively lucky. I Could've been a child soldier or making iPhones at 6y old or some shit.

Right? Why take chances?

What if at the end of our lives we just do that? Unknowingly. Infinitely. That's a fucking horror.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'd rather be me the asshole than some other asshole.

Not if you have a good life, or can change things.
