What would you tell someone in 2024 to completely change their life for the better?

[-] Pietson@kbin.social 27 points 5 months ago

Probably the best answer in this thread, still a bit if a gamble. I certainly would have a hard time answering that for a person from 1024.

Don't forget to specify with soap and to do it after bathroom visits and before meals, otherwise they'll just wash their hands once per month and use dirt to wash with.

And specifically before they try any "surgery"

Don't let anyone explore overseas to the west (if talking to a white person).

Don't trust white people (if talking to just about anyone else).

The answer would probably be something sensible, within our ability and something we would be capable of.

We already know how to do this .... we as a collective global civilization just actively refuse to do any of it unless we were forced to, either by war or by the realization that it will mean our extinction.

It's not that we are a thousand years dumber than our descendants .... we are just as intelligent and insightful as our ancestors a thousand years ago ... it's just that our short sightedness and greed gets the best of us.

In many ways we are still a lot like our prehistoric ancestors from 100,000 years ago who believed that our family should control all the unlimited amount of bananas in the jungle.

[-] strawberry@kbin.run 9 points 5 months ago

okay but honestly it would be super interesting to see how humans have changed over those thousand years

[-] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

1000 years is too little for big evolutionary changes in a species that reproduces as slowly as us. So unless they went full cyborg or generic engineering the changes won't be very big.

How is the price of BTC in 3024 relevant to you, you won't live to see 3024 and reap the potential rewards.

[-] Pietson@kbin.social 7 points 5 months ago

Even if crypto does become the next big thing, I doubt bitcoin specifically would still be around. Surely there's much better tech by then. If you're lucky they know about it as the precursor to their current system. And even if for some reason it did stick around that long, the value would be meaningless since you have no idea what inflation is like.

What precise instructions should I follow to be able to time-travel like you?

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 months ago

I'd want to know what their favorite meal is. 1000 years would likely have a lot of culinary, agriculture, and food production changes. Maybe everyone eats cubes of flavored yeast.
