Hey what complex or psychology do we have where we fantasize about going back in time to take credit for shit? I've never talked to anyone about this so maybe everyone does it i guess

Bill & Ted just wanted to do better on their history final. Weird Al had a song where he went back in time to pay his phone bill on time. Time travel is a boon that is only granted to the unambitious. As for me, I want to bring CGI back to the 1950s so I can make stunningly advanced soap advertisements

thinking that you are smarter than your parents, lateteen-early 20s disease? seems fairly parseable tbh. although mark twain wrote his yankee in king arthur court in the 50s, so it might be impressive technological progress over lifetime brain compression (if i only knew (x), then i would have made so much (money/power/lessened suffering), so in a way, regret?

decided to do vibe check:

The data also helps us better understand who watches isekai anime. In Japan, the most engaged audience tends to be older men, especially those over 30. Overseas, the majority of viewers are also male, with an average age close to 30, which is higher than the overall anime fan average.

seems like regret/quarter-life crisis is likelier to be predictor than late teens i know everything vibe soviet-hmm
