Oslo. Yesterday. Norway is playing life on easy mode. Massive oil & lithium reserves. NATO. Far North in a hot World.
the cambrian period
no capitalism
no climate change
no politics
just swim
Great Question. I’d go to the future, not sure how far tho.
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.
But we have figured out most causes of death from the 1800s don’t downplay the huge impact modern medicine has had!
Because that benefits the people in power as well. Ending poverty is just not something they are interested in
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

Do I get to pick my mother?

We talking rebirth with continuity of memory or is this a blank slate?
No, it’s only you who’s going on a journey
… what?
Do I get to choose who I am born to? And is this rebirth or a blank slate? You didn’t answer anything!
You get to choose who ypu are born to and it’s a blank state
There is no discernible difference between being reborn as a blank slate and dying. Either way, I cease to exist. No thanks.
What’s the matter queermunist, you chicken?
My plan is to live forever or die trying. None of this reincarnation crap!

I always figured people in a stone-age tribe in a subtropic region, in a period with no wars, natural disasters and plagues (these conditions must have existed somewhere right?), would have had the best lives.
Just hanging around making some basic tools, pots and bows and arrows, hunting a bit, foraging some fruits and mushrooms, be amazed by nature. Not too bad.
Get a flu and you’re dead. No thanks.
If I’m retaining knowledge I’ll go early 60s in Japan. Have fun and get rich in the miracle economy and protect myself from the bubble bursting in the early 90s. Then I’m loaded and living in a great place.
How far in the future can I go before pathogen microbes evolve too significantly for me to survive? Whatever the answer is, this, but only after making a few minor investments first. Then I’ll go. Place? Switzerland. Why? Hopefully, - stability.
