EDIT: Rephrasing again for clarity:
The idea is that there are tons of things in life you don't do because you perceive them as being too risky. Let's say you had a time travel device. If you tried something and ****ed up, you could use the device and travel back to your "safe point" when everything was the way it was.
Basic example might be starting a business... maybe something you've avoided because you don't want to risk financial collapse. But say you try it and financial collapse occurs. No big deal -- just travel back to the safe point.
So, given that there'd be no permanent downside, what would you do?
What particular risk would you take, and why aren't you taking it now? Can you think of ways to reduce the risk?
