What time period in history would you like to live in and Y?

Luciana · February 24, 2015, 08:53:45 AM

If you had to have a choice to live in any time in history for say... 5 years (or forever, whatever gets you going), any place in the world, where would it be? And no don't say modern times.

One key note:

You could speak the language 100% fine and understand it during said time if you choose someplace foreign.

And if you somehow got sick, you have access to modern medicine because space magic, and only you know about it. This way you're not scared to die of the Black Death or some shit.

Me?

Take me back to Roman times. I wanna see what it was like first hand.

To quote W. B. Yeats:

Quote

I think if I could be given a month of Antiquity and leave to spend it where I chose, I would spend it in Byzantium a little before Justinian opened St. Sophia and closed the Academy of Plato. I think I could find in some little wine shop some philosophical worker in mosaic who could answer all my questions, the supernatural descending nearer to him than to Plotinus even, for the pride of his delicate skill would make what was an instrument of power to princes and clerics, a murderous madness in the mob, show as a lovely flexible presence like that of a perfect human body.

I'd live in the future where humanity gets reked by aliens

*why?

Mat Cauthon · February 24, 2015, 08:57:23 AM

Hmm...

I'm not sure, I'd like to see Rome at its peak I suppose.

There isn't really any time period I'd care to live during, but if I'd have to say, late Jurassic period, cause I want to ride a dinosaur, I'd probably die, but hell, it would be fun.

I don't think I would go anywhere.

Renaissance Italy

Samurai era in Japan.

The honor/loyalty system would suit me.

UnwornUniform · February 24, 2015, 09:02:21 AM

The 90s. The music. The stupid crap that you guys wore and the games. I know it's kind of a stupid thing but I've always wished I'd lived through the 90s.

Rome, around the time of the second Punic war. I wanna kill Macedonians and then salt the fields of Carthage.

During the time when every mother of a future Floodian was trying for a baby - so I can truly be the Fatherly Nick.

Late 1700s-mid 1800s.

When else, man?

The founding of America, the work of Adam Smith and David Hume, the rise of classical liberalism and the beginning of the industrial revolution.

Beautiful.

Dear everybody who is choosing some point in the future:

What the fuck is wrong with your definition of "history"?
