... well knowing what your life and the world is like today, as if you have the choice to do something different in a parallel universe.
Do you let history and items run its course as is, or do you bank on the butterfly effect and hope things swing in your favor?
Keep in mind that you can do anything. You can change your career path. You can bet on the outcomes of certain sporting events that already took place. You can compose some of your favorite songs of this millennium yourself. You can write the script for films like The Departed, The Dark Knight, and No Country for Old Men. You can invent MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube (which obviously needs some programming background). Heck, when the iPhone comes out make the apps for Flappy Birds and whatever else is addicting. You can try and prevent the 9/11 terrorist attacks. You could try and reverse the thing you said to a girl or close friend once that drew you apart.
Basically, I guess the question isn't so much what you would do differently in a creative sense (though please, by all means bring up some things that would be interesting to do differently that I have yet to mention), do we try and fix things and/or selfishly take advantage of certain situations? I guess that's hard with that kind of knowledge, and furthermore you don't know how one thing changes something else.
I know how this topic could get political or religious (not to mention the majority of things are "plagiarism" in a way haha), so I guess I'll just preface it by saying that's not the point of the thread. I just thought of it when Peter and Brian went back in time in Family Guy, and Peter quoted Die Hard, saying: "We could write it, Brian." Just a funny concept I suppose. Didn't know whether I would change my life and make a bigger bang out of what I have, trying to strike wealth, fame, and anything else that I feel would/should help my family or country, etc. Because sadly, doing one thing might alter the course of everything, so maybe you can only do as much as one of the ripples.
