Stipulations:
- You cannot die and are immune to disease
- You cannot alter the future such that you change the world from your point of origin. i.e. You cannot become so famous that future people recognize you as immortal.
- If you vary the timeline too much you will cease to exist.
Why did you make it so easy? Throw someone back to 10,000 BC. If its just ~80 years thats easy. You can’t die. Just go make a little place to hang out in a cave or somewhere extremely remote. You dont even need food or water.
Boredom. Imagine how boring it would be to just hide. I was hoping for some creative ideas.
You said you can’t change time or you cease to exist. What else are we supposed to do? You can’t exist and not change time.
You cannot change it so much that you alter the future. Doesn’t mean that you can’t live a fulfilling life or run things from the shadows.
But the catch is I dont know what will change time a lot or a little. If I get in an elevator and shit my pants in front of Utada Hikaru does she never write Simple & Clean? I simply cannot know, so with those rules I have to isolate.
She would certainty nor say that simple and clean is the way you are making her feel.
Why not operate under the assumption that your future self has already gotten away with everything? Taking advantage of the bootstrap paradox. Like Bill & Ted, everything around the dad’s keys. Might at least be fun, that way.
Living in a cave for 10,000 years without seeing someone is the best environment to discover new hobbies.
Are you looking for ideas on things to do? When are you going back to 1945 and what part of the world would you be in?
NYC, just after the war ends
If you’re in NY on V-J Day, you could kiss a dental assistant and/or a sailor!
It worked for our ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years. Wake up, chase antelope until it dies, spend the rest of the day hanging out by the fire and maybe doing some fishing. Gonna get real good at cave paintings, honestly sounds pretty fucking good.
