Inspired by this article about a jellyfish that doesn't die of old age, injury or poor conditions, it just reverts back to a juvenile state and is reborn genetically identical. If you could be reborn, as you, would you want to?

Edit: Just the physical you, genetic and presumably epigenetic, no memory.

nah humanity is one of the most painful things Ive ever read of or come into contact with . Im actually very eager to see the end of my life cause then I wont have to deal with all this genocidal , selfish, illogical bullshit from people.

Also why would I do this without keeping my memories? Absolutely not. I need to remember why I want to stay awau from other people and what other people have done to me that has led to me becomjng this sad sad state...

Edit: also let me clarify, I am certainly no saint or a messiah or anyone or anything special. Im just some dude. But Ive come to realization.... that Im fatigued and jaded by the humans Ive come into contact with in my life including my parenrs who have practicallt ostracized me and the 'friends' who I had who ghosted me or betrayed me. And Im tired of this abyss of loneliness I always appear to be stuck in no matter what I do to just be confident and go out more and to be friendly even trying to just be more genuine- it all just never works for me...and....Im tired of it all. Im so tired of it all.

I dont mean to be a meanie to anyone who reads this comment , I wish you all well. I wish you all had better lives than I have had so far and than I will have IF I keep on living (probably wont happen but ...so be it....I tried. I failed. And Im sorry. It is what it is) Just please know: Im tired. Im so tired. Im only 30 but I know for a fact Im not long for this world . Sadly. Ive been through some things I cant even type here without being banned forever....

I wish you all the best in your endeavors or if you I dont knkw choose to be reincarnated like this lol. Bye everyone. Peace ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

I see your point. We are a very short sighted species.
