Time Slip: Future/Past

<< < (4/5) > >>

Ixarku:
The future, without a doubt.  I want to see if we finally figure out all those things that sci-fi has been promising me for decades.

SeventyX7:
Future.  Why would you want to go to the past?  There would be nothing to look forward since you know what happens next.  Not only that, but things could only be shittier.  No internet, worse music, rampant racism, courts run by the Churches.

Fuck that shit.

metro.:
Future.

While the past would be interesting, lots of stuff I know I'd hate about it. And the future...well the future is the future.

I don't understand such nostolgia personally, I think it's because historical pedagogy tends to romanticize the past and slide around the fact that human history in general is a charnal house filled with misery and stupidity.

/agree, the past is full of a bunch of misery and strife.
l'd rather take my free pass to the somewhat distant future, 1000+ years should be good.
