    You’d end up causing even more death than the Europeans because the viruses you carry are 500 years more advanced than the ones the Europeans brought, and evolved in a much more connected world.

    Might be better to go back 10k years and leave stone tablets on either side of the ocean, informing anyone who sees it about the existence of the other world and how to navigate there so they can evolve their immune systems in parallel in a time when force projection capabilities likely won’t mean an ocean-spanning Empire will arise.
