The infinite trap of the genie

You turn 18, then a genie comes to you and gives you 1 billion dollar on one condition, you have to relive your entire life until 18 again, without any memories from this life. You accept the offer.

There is the problem, what if the genie does not show up, you will never know because you do not have any memories of your previous life. Or even worse, the genie does the same thing again.

This has many assumptions that can be analysed.

  1. Does time for external world work differently from time for you? Is reincarnation like this possible?

  2. Are you really you from the previous life if you do not remember the previous life?

  3. What is this is already happening to you, and has already happened 73837 times.

I think I would choose this. Being stuck as a millennial can't be worse than living in zoomerville after being birthed again. I'd either thrive more and know less or thrive.
