You can choose just one option:
1) going back and forward in the past
2) going back and forward in the future
what would be you choice? why?

Mentally or physically?
physically
Not an easy answer. I guess as an expectator? Nothing to be done or said?
you will be your actual self, active in first person. let's say you'll have 24 hrs before having to go back in the present.
Hmm... So one trip only and deal with the changes that your actions will imply?
yeap, all rules settled 😂😁
Okay peeerf hahaha
Then... If it's one chance and one chance only, I would go to the future, because it would help me see if I did indeed learn from my past or I'd need to kick myself in the butt to build the future I want and deserve.
You?
I am not sure, that's why I thought about asking others in a note, but the more I think of it, the more I believe I would check the past, to see how differently I would act in the past with the ideas and convictions I have built with my later experience.
I wouldn't do any change, but more interested to see my reactions in and old environment but with a new way of thinking.
i wouldn't go in the future, because I would be afraid I could alter my decisions when I would come back, in order to maybe change the future, probably unconsciously, but still.
Yeah that's fair enough, although even though you don't intend to change anything, travelling to the past in first person, chances of your actions even slightly deferring from the real past considering your present knowledge, I'd say are pretty high, so the present you get back to may have changed already 👀 like Homer killing a fly in the past when he travels through the toaster hahahaha
yeah I did considered that, that's also why the past. imagine you go 20 yrs in the future, stay there 24hrs, and then go back; then you will live 20 yrs riaking to subconsciously changing the future outcomes, and as I know I am, I would constantly asking myself if I am acting differently from how I originally would without having been in the future once alrewsy. On the other hand visiting the past, since we said you have only 24hrs, you would have less time to fuck up, but of course, what you said about small alterations is a valid point, and I would apply it also in the visiting the future options, as you would modify also the future of that future from that moment on... 🤔👀
Exactly that's my point about travelling to the future 🌝 If the future is good then nothing you do in the present should change that outcome because you will just be you, although yes I agree there would be years of overthinking to ensure you get there like that haha (I wouldn't travel 20 yrs though, maybe max. 5). But if I see I haven't learnt anything of what I should have learnt (considering the real present) then I will be able to at least try and change that supposed future or see where I should focus to grow myself further.
In regards to changing the future, passed the moment you travel, I totally agree also any small alteration may change it but, although it wouldn't be my intention at all, I wouldn't mind either cause then you come back in the present which isn't affected by a change in a potential future yet 🌝
Do you think travelling to the past would help you understand things better about yourself?
I don't know, because I also would prefer not to know before where I am heading to. My mind works about thinking always on different and various scenarios and elaborating their possible outcomes intuitivly following my perception and analysing the present through a process of past experiences.. and probably that's why I would like more to visit the past, and yes as you said, i think would help me understand things better about the present me, since I could make a comparison about I had react in the past, determined by how I had reacted amd felt at the time, and the 'present me', so I could evaluate the progress also (if there are in first place), so I could change the trajectory, or adjust it, to the purpose of creating a future where I am more comfortable and at peace with myself.
