Great Question. I'd go to the future, not sure how far tho.
I would too, maybe 200 years forward. Iβm 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. Itβs not going to get better.
But we have figured out most causes of death from the 1800s donβt 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
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
