I’ll go first.

3 options

  • Going back to 1964 to watch the Duke Ellington’s Montreal show. Try to meet the man and the musicians. Hang around my city.
  • Go in the end of the 70s to meet my parents before they had kids. Grab a couple of beers and party with my young adults parents. See my uncles, etc. in their young time
  • Going to 1881 during the couple of days when Nietzsche wrote Zarathoustra. I want to discuss with guy even if he is supposed to be writing all day long. No consequence right.

What are yours?

EDIT: I’ll clarify: You can’t affect the timeline. It means you cant go back to try to get rich with stocks, lottery, etc. It’s like going to see a movie, when you come back the world will be exactly the same. You can interact with people, but in the end, the day you spend in the past will not have existed for anyone but you, in your memories.

    I’d love to get the chance to talk to Isaac Asimov and talk to him about the future and how he decided to start releasing his stories. Probably around 1972 because I liked bicentennial man a lot.

    Other than that:

    • go back to see socialist radical anti-authoritarian Jesus do his real protesting instead of the biblical king washed stories.
    • or go back to the fall of Amen to see the end and beginning of monotheism of the modern day and understand the actual departure of the worker force
    • see if I can find the actual great flood that all the myths seem to talk about and see if the conspiracy of it being about the Mediterranean basin is true. So probably Mesopotamia time and hope it’s recent enough memory to hear actual stories.
