That’s my biggest fear. Sometimes I want to invent a time machine and go write all of Aristotle Plato’s stuff a week before he did so people think I’m the smartest guy. Or go back to Ancient Rome and win all the battles. I just know that the moment I do those things, everyone is going to love me so much that I’m not going to be able to leave. They’ll try to feed me olives off a large platter and then they’ll laugh at me because I only like the oil. I can’t just coast forever on eating rhino heads- they’ll want me to eat something that should taste like a bean or a date but doesn’t. It tastes weird.
Hey what complex or psychology do we have where we fantasize about going back in time to take credit for shit? I’ve never talked to anyone about this so maybe everyone does it i guess
Bill & Ted just wanted to do better on their history final. Weird Al had a song where he went back in time to pay his phone bill on time. Time travel is a boon that is only granted to the unambitious. As for me, I want to bring CGI back to the 1950s so I can make stunningly advanced soap advertisements
I mean obviously i want to go back to when i was cpu mining bitcoin on the school computer lab pcs and tell myself it’s not stupid and actually is cool but i don’t think I’d have listened because I’m old
It’s bullshit. My teachers called me gifted but every time I invent something it was already invented centuries ago. I had a great idea for something called Greek Fire until the fucking Greeks invented it.
thinking that you are smarter than your parents, lateteen-early 20s disease? seems fairly parseable tbh. although mark twain wrote his yankee in king arthur court in the 50s, so it might be impressive technological progress over lifetime brain compression (if i only knew (x), then i would have made so much (money/power/lessened suffering), so in a way, regret?
decided to do vibe check:
The data also helps us better understand who watches isekai anime. In Japan, the most engaged audience tends to be older men, especially those over 30. Overseas, the majority of viewers are also male, with an average age close to 30, which is higher than the overall anime fan average.
seems like regret/quarter-life crisis is likelier to be predictor than late teens i know everything vibe

I'm George Stanley and let me introduce you to a little device called a Computronic Mathematical MachineComputer for short, but don't let that fool you, these things can put up with some tall orders!It’s bullshit.
