If you could transport yourself to any place and time in history, what and where would you choose? I think it’s a trickier question than it appears.
For one thing, for most of history there were no smartphones or internet, no hot showers or flush toilets, no electricity, nothing that we would recognize as modern sanitation. You would need to be prepared for all that.
But if you are ready to overlook such details, do you have a particular place and time you’d want to visit? Maybe you’ve always wanted to go back just have a chat with Leonardo DaVinci, and suggest he paint a portrait of himself as a woman.
Or perhaps you could drop in unannounced on Samuel Coleridge while he was writing some long poem, and distract him with a long conversation. The possibilities are endless!
What would you choose?
