I turned 44 just the other day; honestly, without a doubt I’d have taken the pill the day before my 21st birthday. One big do-over and minimal responsibilities to manage after the de-aging.
- ✔️ Someone taking care of me 24/7 for a period measured in years?
- ✔️ School? What a joke. Ace everything, be a social and intellectual prodigy?
- ✔️ No bills, no responsibilities?
- ✔️ Boundless energy and Wolverine-like healing?
- ✔️ One set of friends in their 40s with life and professional advice/connections for you as you turn 21; and another set of friends your own age bursting with enthusiasm, ideas, and a gleam in their eye?
Like, I’m not seeing a downside to this over here…
You will not be taken serious, you will have no friends as everyone thinks you are a freak, your aceing in school will put you on a special gifted track, with high expectations that you will fall short of tremendously, once you outpaced the school stuff you just could do by memory.
By the time you are physically 20 again you will be a failed freak, that is distanced from his family and probably severely mentally ill, from the constant rejection by both children and adults.
For your first 20-40 trip, you could stay childless and live it up, see the world.
Then, on your second 20-40 trip, you could have kids while still physically fit and able to keep up with them and have fun.
It would be weird to have kids with someone who is effectively 20 years younger than you, though.
You either go with someone physically the same age who is of a completely different generation from you, or you go with someone mentally your age who you may not be able to have kids with without risking a higher chance of congenital disorders.
I had the same thought. While there is some couples with such a huge age difference,it makes everything much more complicated.
