A storytelling podcast we like to listen to, The Moth, poses questions to it's audience before their live storytelling events. One of the recent podcasts had the question, "what would you change if you could suspend the laws of physics for one day?"
I would allow myself to 'scrub' backward through time as though my life were a movie. Obviously you can't work forward since it hasn't happened, but I would like to see with an experienced eye the moments of my past. Most of all though I want to know what my first conscious and unconscious thoughts were. When did they take place? If you don't have a language what do you think? Do our thoughts take place as images? I wonder what an unborn baby that has no images to references thinks of. If the memory has not been developed then what does one think about? In order to understand oneself one has to start at the beginning.
