Great Question. I'd go to the future, not sure how far tho.

The thing is, that could be awesome, or it could be a fucked up dystopia. There's no way to know until you're there.

I would too, maybe 200 years forward. I’m hoping by then most natural causes of death would be mostly figured out and poverty hopefully being a thing of the past.

People in the 1800s thought the same. It’s not going to get better.

[–] qooqie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But we have figured out most causes of death from the 1800s don’t downplay the huge impact modern medicine has had!

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Because that benefits the people in power as well. Ending poverty is just not something they are interested in

We are doing a bit better now than we did in the 1800s though.

I guess in 100 years climate crisis made this planet not very pleasant.

You can't go back tho. Except if someone there asked you the same question again. Need to make friends, dig through history books and find my question. Tell them they should ask you. If they want to come with you, you ask them also
