Now, I accounted for the lure of modern conveniences like toilets, electricity, AC, etc, and said that if I could have that part of my memory erased it's a no-brainer as wealth is relative, but many ppl still wanna be reg Joes cuz internet, etc lmao. Then they argue about lifespan but what is quantity vs quality? Whoopie-do, working as a modern slave till one drops at 90. Congrats.  |
It's a no-brainer for me! As much as I like a lot of things about the 18th & 19th centuries, I wouldn't go back at all! In those time periods, I'd be dead. Modern medicine, and direction from Above, are why I'm alive today.
