Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

That's an entirely new question you've introduced there.
“If you got turned back into a baby” is the original question and is very much open to interpretation, even to the point where it more closely means “turned into a baby” before it means “sent back to when you were a baby”.
Alsp I literally acknowledged that there are two questions and explained why I thought that my interpretation was more interesting. R e a d.
Is distinct from "What would you do with a second chance?" (<- What I consider the first question of the original post, since the lemmy post title's seen before the image's text.), and the question in the image "You get turned back into a baby but you retain all your skills and memory, what do you do?"
"all your skills and memory" is not the same as "had all the answers".
It's daunting that these seemed to get conflated as synonyms, for what it suggests of that flavour of naive realism... the extreme of arrogance in equating them. ... Or maybe it's just lazy hyperbole. But given that response just then, I doubt it.
“All your skills and memories” includes such hits as knowing when to get into Bitcoin, knowing what career would take off and know when to get out if need be. It would be going to back and meeting the right people at the right time. Practically speaking, you would have all the answers.
You got a lot o’ them big book-words for someone what ain’t quite gettin’ their grippers ‘round them com-plex ideers. This isn’t that complicated, you’re just embarrassed, maybe quit before you get even further behind.
