No Stupid Questions

I think I would choose to forget everything, and have a chance to be reborn in a world where everything is new

I would never choose to be reborn as myself with my current knowledge. I would know how my life could turn out without knowing all the steps I did to get there. I don't think I would be able to get my wife to fall in love with me and I know that I would never be able to find the exact breeder that sold me my dog.

As much as I would love to imagine how much better my life will be if I made the right decision at some juncture, I would not want to lose out on all the treasure I discovered taking the wrong road.

Sure I would be able to see loved ones who have passed, but would I be able to enjoy that extra time knowing that they will soon develop a disease that will kill them?

Please clarify the details.

Is it reincarnated into a world without magic, retaining all of your knowledge just in a preindustrial revolution knowing and timeline will remain the same minus the changes I make? (Like everything that happened without human influence such as earthquakes, volcanoes, stellar phenomena etc would still happen at the same times, but magic now exists and I don't have it?

And the other choice. Being reincarnated into a magic world without knowing who I am or anything I knew in my previous life but I will have a magic system to utilize that I'm fully informed of? And also does everyone in this magic world have magic or would I be a rarity or at least uncommon as someone who can use magic?

i would want to be reborn in world with magic with my memories so i would appreciate more

I'd rather be reborn as myself with my current knowledge, that way I have more time to learn. I'd do so many things differently.

Magic easily. Why would I want to come back into a world like this?

The magic one for sure. I have no doubt that I would not only recover my memories of past lives but would ascend to much greater heights, perhaps grasping immortality itself. With dimensional and time travel, shapeshifting, I might even come back to this world. Maybe I'd turn my other self into newt and take his place. Or imbue him with forbidden knowledge and power. Or take him with me. Or maybe we'd just end up having a bunch of freaky shifting magic sex.

"Hey me, it's you, from a world of magic. I'm here to rescue you."

"Wow, how unexpected. Also, you're hot."

"Baby, I'm about to blow your mind."

I think I’m kinda done.

I couldn't imagine a single scenario where I wouldn't choose to reborn as myself. IMO it is objectively the correct choice: more stable/safe world (compared to pre-industrial revolution with dangerous spells), and I'll almost be guaranteed to do quite well in it given the status window and skill tree

My intrusive thoughts tell me to choose world of magic and go kaboom though

Why would I live in a preindustrial society just for the minute chance I could use magic. Because statistically speaking you will be a subsistence farmer in a world where the powerfull can literally alter reality.

Reborn as myself with my knowledge.

Youth is wasted on the young.

Young people don't listen to old people. But, if the old person is myself, then I'll listen... when I'm young again.

Anything sufficiently advanced that it isn’t explainable in the current culture is magic.

Considering I’m already a modern day wizard, I’d go for being able to use my existing skills from birth over being born into a society where the laws of physics may not be the ones I’ve spent decades studying. That sounds like a recipe for abject misery and early death.

Reborn. I wanna see my mom again.

My memory is soo bad that I'd probably forget all the useful stuff and remember things like how many dimples are on a golf ball or how to do a Rubiks cube as a baby.
I'd probably take the magic option.

Reborn as myself. Once my vocal chords develop people will be amazed at the conversations they can have with a baby.

Going to a world of magic sounds pretty sweet, but only if I can remember that I once lived in a world without it. Otherwise, I'm just a schmuck in the only world I've ever known, and magic wont be any more fascinating than technology is today.

The current world with knowledge would be more advantageous than a magic world from scratch.

I'm assuming that all of the magic would be hoarded by the spellionaires. I'd be stuck in some warehouse loading an infinite number of potions that I can't afford onto a Pallet of Holding.

So new game in magic world or new game + in normal world?

Do I have to be the chosen one in new game +? I'd do that if I don't have the added responsibility of saving the world.

World of Magic, I don't wanna live through the Trump presidency again, nor gender dysphoria.

What kind of monster would saddle a newborn with the weight of my current knowledge?

I really don't understand what magic you think we don't have? Chances are you typed this question on a slate of crystal and wire that allows you to see and hear across the planet in nearly real time. There are people who, with the right tools can summon fire at their fingertips, unleash arcs of lightning, draw water from thin air, and make rocks that talk. We are surrounded by forces that both well mapped (at least locally) and are completely incomprehensible to the best of us. While we have not mastered the veil between life and death, we have certainly learned to draw it back.

You are, I fear demonstrating the old adage that familiarity breeds contempt. You're confusing the comprehensibility of the world with mundanity. We are living in a world full of "magic"... It just doesn't look like the magic you read about in old fairy tales, and importantly, it's not shared equally to everyone.

I'll take reincarnation with my mind intact.

Can I choose to just die?

Neither. I’ll take absolute absence

Give me a new body and a brain without chemical imbalances, please.

First one. Need to stock up on amphorae first though.

Neither. I'd make my parents choose people who actually love each other which would prevent me from being.

I'll take the new life+, thank you. Gonna be trivial to become a child prodigy, earn money off that and then have a very smooth adult life

Reborn, any day. I'm quite happy with my life, but this and being a multimillionaire through some minor investments in bitcoin, and a stat screen to minmax? 11/10

Second one

Option 2. Much easier to get set for life.

Besides, magic already exists. We just know how it works now.

I have quite the skill tree that I'm too old and broken to make use of.

Reborn with my knowledge of skateboarding? Yes please.
