Would check out Julian Barbour's The End of Time. Technically we're re-living every moment like a broken record if the universe is intrinsically timeless.

If my life was reset I’d certainly make better decisions. That’s enough for me to know that I have grown through my mistakes. And then I’d probably make more mistakes through the new choices that I would make.

We need to make choices to grow, if we wait for life to make a choice for us, it would be also letting our environment decide who we will be.

The point of the exercise is you don't change anything every time. It's the same life for infinity.

I know, I deviated on purpose. Just wanted to state what I discovered while performing this thought experiment.

Btw m, Reliving the same life for eternity is a torture no matter how pleasurable ur life was. If u’re to relive a luxurious life then I’ll find it only “less painful”. Part of the joy in life is its spontaneity
