The Quantum Leap With A Twist What If

Imagine your mind was transported back to the body of your childhood self. Suddenly your mothers 6 year old son is talking with a worldly intelligence and knowledge of the future. Unfortunately this is permanent situation, no jumping from body to body. You have to grow up in that scenario.

How would you cope, what would you do to take advantage of the situation as you grew up? Would you try to hide it until you grew older?

For a while you may be treated as a child prodigy but that would not be forever...

  • You might be a prodigy/genius for the rest of your life. Now you have longer to learn new things and make adjustments. You have the childhood development years to improve in every way. If you were an athlete in your adult years now you can start sooner and become even better than possible.


    You could also potentially change your family's path with interviews, books, movies, etc...



    Either that or you will have the worst childhood ever since you'll be thinking about complex adult situations and everyone that will take you seriously is still eating their boogers.

    • I think that in the early years you may well be seen as being more intelligent up to a point, You may know math and reading and writing English better, but when you got to your mid teen years you would be left behind as your IQ is only average or slightly better than some.

      In as much as you remember, you might fare better, being a prophet, remembering key historical moments ahead of time, but how good is your memory, men the moon in 69, the JFK Assassination etc, some forthcoming tech, but they would not be that detailed unless you had studied modern history.

  • if you went back a year and tried to explain part of what happened in the last 12 month.. you would be declared legally insane .. forget how long ago you where 6 years old

    now i was actually real smart as a kid .. but it didn't come out in class .. so i was just deemed lazy at 8 years old ....anyway ..i am 42. 6 years old would have put me in 1984 ..
    Telling people i had the goal of buying 100,000 bit coin in 2009 and 2010 ..10 years before there was even an aol .. would not have worked well .. which would have been a few thousand dollars invested..cash out 100 million of bitcoind at about 12,000 as the brice was spiking .. and put it in Faang stocks in 2018 .. but still sit on a billion dollars worth of bit coin ..

    now between 6 and 32 i probably would have quit school as early as possible when i got my licences i would buy a sleeper van instead of the crappy car i got ..move down to florida.. work to buy a cheep piece of land with 5 to then acers .. then build a vermicomposting business and a high end decorative plant business ...and basically do that until the bit coin thing pans out ..

    added, i was never unintelligent growing up i just never did well in school ..s cored high on standardized test.. it was like a 1340 on my says and like a 98 percentile on the asvab before i joined the army ..and i was training to learn to operate satellite dishes before i chaptered out with bad knees ..going back through the last 3 years with the focus i have gained in the last 4 years ..i wouldn't do anything to f#$% up the timeline .. just have the bast life i can ..

  • I know you have watched TimeLoop, and beware of cute, little pigs, bearing gifts.

    Good observation, umm.........Big C!


  • Is that really it? Or do you perhaps discover what it is YOU value and stop settling for less or trying other options? I've wondered about that.

  • Firstly, not everyone will be able to become so-called "prodigies", because being a child they are in the body of an adult for true. Even so, children are much wiser than the so-called "adults." I don't believe in the existence of adults, they simply do not exist. Secondly, let us assume this possibility, to be an adult in the body of a child: for some people it will be a blessing, because they will get rid of the responsibility that their parents previously took upon themselves. For some, this outcome is much more convenient. It is worth thinking carefully about who to call a "prodigy".
