Re: Default
I suspect the default point would be in adulthood and probably at the time one makes up ones mind to team up with another human being for life. If one could go back to I hour before that decision is legalised then I’m sure there would be a very big queue to default.

Re: Default
Not sure what a default point actually means when thinking about human beings, but I suppose I think of my default point as being variable through my life. For instance, I can be at my default point when nobody or thing is upsetting me and I feel balanced and not unduly stressed. Neither in a good mood or bad, neither unduly happy or unhappy. When I have worked hard or had to put all my energies into something, or cope with some stressful problem (whatever sort) when it is finished I may well go down and be exhausted, both mentally and physically - Gradually, if all is as it should be and I am lucky enough to have the resources I will come back to a point when I am back to my "normal" whatever that may be. I don't think I would expect my default point to be the same as it was 10/20/30 years ago. As I said I think it varies with age. Perhaps I am talking about equilibrium and status quo or something similar.
Edited to add - perhaps my default point is when I am asleep and not dreaming.

Re: Default
No, I would not go back to a default point in case it changed anything that followed afterwards. I would not want to change a thing in case it prevented me from being here now, with the person I fell in love with. I would not want to take the risk that any of that would change.Others of course may want to change things, but I do not.

Lately I've been having a tough time of it and have had to force myself to eat, just to function.
