What would you say to your future self?

[teh_nathan]

I really didn't want to post this in the flame zone but there doesn't seem to be anywhere else for it.

If you were growing old, and you didn't have long left in you, I'm sure you'd like to know what you thought, hoped for, experienced, etc, when you were younger.

So what would you say to yourself if you met your future self? What advice would you give?

Here's a video from a friend of a friend.

I'm already there, but I can think of a thing or two I'd say to my past self if I ever run into me.

What would I tell my future self?

"Eat more fiber."

Okay, after viewing the video, I've just sat here for a good 5 minutes trying to think of what I'd say to myself and I honestly can't think of anything.

Let me think about this one for a while.

I would say it's no point in having regrets. Get your ass out of that wheelchair & go get some tail.

Yes, I think talking and giving advice to future self is a bit silly....If you did, wouldn't that directly affect your future self, by changing how they are?

I'd much rather go back and tell my past self a thing or two...

Like some guys to avoid, and some stock tips

Which would change your future anyway, in which case, you wouldn't be telling your past self the same things because they had already happened.

(It's called 'The Grandfather Paradox')

I still don't know what I'd tell myself. Except maybe to not dwell on the piddly bullshit. But I'd rather tell my young self that than my older self.

Not that I'd listen.

I'd ask myself to get that plasma rifle in the 40 watt range I've always wanted!

So, people still suck in the future?
