For me that would be fruitless.
If I am wiser than my 16 year old self, then my 16 year old self will refuse to listen to anything I say on principle.
If I am less wise than my 16 year old self, then I will refuse to listen anything my 16 year old says on principle.
The chance of my being precisely as unwise as my 16 year old self, so we perfectly complimenting each other’s doofusness in manner and speech, is infinitesimal.
If my 16 year old self saw his 60 year old self trying to talk sense to him he would shit himself. If otherwise unproductive as a teaching experience, then at least I would have the shits and giggles.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
