      it would be an experience i would lik to partake in. i can almost guess what it'll be like to be me, and live my life, but it would truly be amazingly different and unique to experience that. I don't believe i wouldn't be me, i believe it would be like being born again, but i would know what i was like as a human so i think i would remember myself and my personality, it may be a dull reflection of that person i once was but i would explore the universe, i would do so much... so much.

      Naturally as i'm choosing this i would want to first get my book published

      "MementoMori, the lucid machine"

      "There's nothing better than knowing what it's like to fly like superman. Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."

      The wonder and awe you're imagining of that knowledge and of exploring the universe is something exclusive to humanity. You are imagining how wonderful it would be from your current viewpoint. If you now could have all this knowledge, and be able to explore anywhere, that's how you're imagining it.

      The truth is alot more sombre I'm afraid. There's a reason Dr Manhattan never shows emotion. With absolute knowledge and power the sense of wonder and mystery I KNOW you find in the universe now, would be gone. I'd never sacrifice that.

      Basically: The beautiful and mysterious things you are imagining being able to do and know, are only so beautiful and mysterious from the limited viewpoint of a human. If you were like him, you wouldn't feel that anymore.

      You'd lose that, and for me, that would be self defeating.
