1. I would go back to 1865 and fight Lincoln. Big guy, big reach. Skinny guys fight till they’re burger.

I'd fight Gandhi.

Why? He was a good dude, and completely malnourished.

Maybe a /whoosh

Yeah but he still has an awesome movie to discover and you don't.

This hurt more than I thought it would.

What's happening to me?

The one movie I've watched many times. Many, many times. Had some serious deprogramming to do.

sarcasm lol....

Fun fact he was not actually fighting for the slaves... Is this why you would kick his ass?

He can't talk about it.

He doesn't know the first rule.

Lincoln was a racist mofo, the civil war was about zee banks. No one wants to talk about that....

After reading this far down, and your responses, I think you might have not seen a certain film. I would say more, but... you know, can't talk about it.

Fill me in. I'm open minded :)

I don't think you understand. I can't talk about it. I can explain to you up to this point that there is a movie whose name I can not mention due to that being a rule presented in the unmentioned movie. o.o that's as close as I can get without breaking rule 2, man.

If you are going to go Lincoln, go to 1809 and kill him as an infant, save the USA a hell of a bunch of trouble.

It would definitely require more than one trip but my choice would be to go back and prevent all attempts to destroy the Library of Alexandria and insure the preservation of all the records.

How would that change the world? Imagine.

Great, great response. Imagine that, if that place was never destroyed. The knowledge, the history... Up vote!

I think i'd kill Machiavelli

That means you are 546 years old o.0. Lol, but in all seriousness why would you?

Why yes i am! How did you guess!? Because his destructive political theory is still dominating to this day, and has throughout the centuries proven good at two things: generating chaos and concentrating power.

I'm not well versed on his political theory, I'll look into it. He was a bad guy?

not necessarily, he just came up with the wrong ideas to get out of jail, furthermore he wrote it all down for all the curious to understand

also this is by far the best video resource i was able to find on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUyWmmWtcFM

the rest of Machiavelli's content often comes from po-sci which is effectively a bunch of brainwashed so they discuss the morality and whatever irrelevant angle but nothing on political theory (questioning a po-sci student on central banking is quite an entertainment).

Yeah, but if he hadn't printed those rules down, someone else would've. Those concepts he presented are far older than his own existance.

possible, but how long did it take for a Machiavelli to appear?

edit: and no, they aren't older, private central banks appear with Machiavelli

you're entitled to that opinion, but Machiavelli reveiled an order far older than "private central banks" as well. So that doesn't constitute proof the machiavellian method isn't truely older than himself.

Large add-on: That said, I think Mac was like Szu, in that he collected alot of information, and put it all in one book. since he could see the connections that all made, there's no doubt his own intelligence and cunning are in the work.

That I am, but I'm willing to consider another father for private central banking, it's pretty easy actually, all i need is an example of private central bank predating Machiavelli, and a true private central bank, a public one owned by a King is very different.

I'd go back, but play the game pretty much the same, except now I know that when apple stock isn't worth 10 bucks in the 90s to buy til i'm dry cause it's gonna pay huge in decade when way better toys will be out. That, and maybe pull something like a Brian Griffin and write Twilight. I know, it's garbage, but have you seen those profit margins? Once I got the monies I would live much as I already do, but with a hypercool fall out shelter so if shit does hit fan, me and mine have the next 6 decades pretty well covered. Vault grade stuff, ya know? And since I got a sneak peak at tech and land costs and all that to come, it should be easy enough to do.
