If you could only be reincarnated in the distant past or future, your pick...?


Distant past I'm thinking bc or earlier and up to about 1000 AD.

Damn, that was actually a really hard decision for me, but I picked distant past.

Depends if we get to choose where.

I'd choose past if it was like China, ancient Greece, or the Americas.

You get to loosely choose the era. Not the culture, but remember any culture would be unique.

Future. As a Black person, there's no way I'm going into the past, and I find the future to be more interesting, anyway.

You could be the first black person in China or Japan. They'll think you're a god something

Jesus, it doesn't occur to most folks that the distant culture could be a terrible distopia? Future is not always synonymous with "good".

Yeah but far enough in the past and there's like a 30% chance you'll just die during childbirth/infancy

Of course future earth could also be a nuclear wasteland so who knows

Have you ever contemplated the potential severe consequences of prolonged existence both personally and for mankind. Living longer or extra longer isn't always an appealing idea.

In that case the past America is a real mixed bag for anyone. Its lose lose if you're a decent person that actually feels guilt for wrong doings
