I often wonder what it would be like going back in time, knowing what you know today. Would you apply your knowledge to invent new things or spark ideas in people who eventually invent them? Would your knowledge make you seem extremely wise? Would this knowledge make you wealthy? Or would you be called a witch and burned at the stake or stoned? 😂

I don’t wanna go back in time, I wanna be able to see 10 mins into the future, that to me is far better!
Even if it means seeing your death?
At least you can change it if you don’t like the way you die.
Ah! But every horror movie ever made dictates best you’d die a more gruesome death 😂
I guess you'd have 10 minutes to avoid it...unless Death is by design 🤔🕵🏻♂️

More like the latter
A witch 😂
Depends how well you keep a secret i'd guess.

Once some of the cultural and linguistic issues are figured out, you'd probably find that out your understanding of history and your experience don't square up easily.
To some extent yes but the general timeline should be intact for the most part depending on how the events were chronicled.
I'd go back and start buying bitcoin.. I wouldn't change much else about my life, nor would I talk to anyone about the future... I'd just be richer now. 🤷🏽♀️
it would make you seem insane
That's basically forking yourself (like btc and bch) because once you inject new knowledge, you create a different person, but you, you still exist as you...Witchcraft!! 😅🙂
But also, on a serious note, you assume that the choices we make are solely (or predominantly) influenced by knowledge, but I doubt it's the case.
How many people knowingly do the wrong thing, for example, sleep with the wrong person, take drugs, drink or smoke too much, eat junk food, etc? There are many more factors, and they might even play a much bigger role in our decision making...
So, would you apply your knowledge? maybe not...
Another way to test this hypothetical scenario is to observe the transmission between parent and child. How much can be attributed to knowledge (nurture)? How much is behavioural patterns (nature), most of which we are even not aware of...
Well, there was recently a study that said genetics are poor at predicting diseases one might develop in life. I wonder if nurture is at the core of our identities. I am inclined to believe that it is.
if i can pick a time frame, i wanna go back to the hippies era and just chill
They all will hate you and rebuke you because according to them you know nothing, and with limited means you won't be able to prove them wrong.
