I would rather see the future. Know what to invest into to earn some money. Also hopefully stop anything tragic from happening.

The future what the fuck would I need to see the past for? Unless to find a old password.

Why would I need to see the future when I have the power to change the past straight after it happens?

See the future. Who knows what kind of disasters could arise if I messed with the past? Plus it's more interesting for me to see things like what humanity is capable of doing with time

See the future.

Atleast it gives me an idea about what happens next & where to invest my time on.

Bcoz if i chose of changing the past, i'll definitely pull on what the characters in my favs did.
Sounds good but i dont want the mental turmoil it gives.

If you can change the past, you might make a better future.
If you see the future, you might make a better present.

I prefer to see the future, to make better judgement for the present. Present is a time where one wants instant good results to feel better of oneself.

Probably see the future, even though changing the past is enticing since I have regrets.

I'm too bothered by stupid mistakes I made in the past to just move on and forget about them. I'd love to change the past

I would much rather see the future. I don't want to dwell on the past. What's done is done. The future is what matters, and I really hope to see that I am in a better place than I was before.

Financial perspective: See the future, for sure. Lottery numbers and such.

Life perspective: Change the past, for sure. Getting myself out of bad situations quicker so I didn't waste as much time in my life.

Do you see every future possible, or just the current one? Because in the 2nd case, you wouldn't know how your actions would change the future until you took those actions anyway. And in the 1st case, it would be too much knowledge. What is the joy in picking a predetermined path?

Also, do you change the past by going back and redoing it, or by just altering it and them watching your present time rearrange based on your modification (like in the Korean movie Call)? Because in the 2nd case, you wouldn't have control over tbe butterfly effect, and you wouldn't know what sort of person you were in your new life after the change. The 1st case is the best out of the bunch, because you get to live again and fix your mistakes, while still not knowing the future.

The problem is that you wouldn't get attached to life if you just kept changing it every time it went wrong. You wouldn't learn from your mistakes, because how could you acquire maturity if you just kept "perfecting" things all the time? You wouldn't feel anything about your losses, because they would be reversible.

Maybe it would be fun in the first few times, like playing a simulator or RPG game. But then it would get boring, repetitive, and meaningless, like playing a simulator or RPG game.

Hmmm I think I'd rather change the past, could be interesting AND who knows maybe when I return to the present the world would either be engulfing in a flaming hell OR a peaceful utopia.... THERES NO IN-BETWEEN HERE! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'd like to imagine what the world would look like IF I could get ride of allllll of humanity's atrocious mistakes!

Change the past, but every time I do so it would just make the future way fucking worse than it was.

I don't know it just sounds logical.

I would decline either.
Changing the past, means the world correcting itself in an unpredictable way.
Seeing the future is always the wrong choice. Even if you can change it, again the world corrects itself. So you'll get nothing out of it.

Change the past, seeing the future will only make me anxious specially regarding events that I have no power to change.

Neither.

I would rather change the past, considering how crap the world has been the last couple years.

I would probably want t change the past more, since the future's undecided and should remain that way.

Plus I don't want to spoil every future superbowl for myself.

I would love to change parts of my past, to see how my path could twist.

Sadly, we can't do such a thing, so all that remains is acceptance of the path, mistakes and try to affect the future.
