Surprisingly, it’s been 1.5 years since this was last asked.
I pick Peregrine Falcon. They thrive all across the globe, they’re fast as fuck when they’re in a dive, they’re the cutest killers, but they’re not at the top of the pecking order, which means a lust for life.
I would opt out. Once is enough.
What if you’re offered to be some 4th or 5th dimensional being?
If I could zip around the past learning about language, culture, ancient hominins and such until I got tired of it, I would do that. Living again? No thanks.
Universe's recycling of ALL energies ( including meaning ) contained within it is rigged: the only way to opt-out is to evolve one's way out: force-dissolving one's soul-ignorance/soul-ignosis..
Please read the brilliant Huston Smith book "World Religions", the Hindu, & Buddhist chapters, & also the Primal Religions chapter, for an angle that Western-educated minds never would have thought-of..
Just for interesting-perspective, is all..
It's a wonderful book: real mental exercise!

For that, I would need to believe in some concept of a soul; I do not. What makes us is the electrical systems interacting with our nurons. When that stops working, that person no longer exists.
