Comment on Does anyone wish they could go back to the beginning of schooling and re-live their education/school experience from the start?

I mean, yeah, sorta. I’d probably redo high school and take it semiseriously and get straight As and go to MIT instead of fucking around and getting pretty good but not excellent grades. Then I’d study CS and Econ and be a quant douche and be rich as fuck.

But, I wrote sorta for good reason: had I not followed my particular stochastic path, I wouldn’t have met my wife, I wouldn’t be in bed with my kid right now, while my wife is in bed with the other kid.

So, no. I wouldn’t trade my fortune to be a quant douche.

All else equal? Sure, why not.
