Is this a no brainer? a course I'd go 400 years? of ahead but back 400. Just drop me off somewhere, anywhere 400 years in the future.
Too much coffee here.

"The assumption is always that things will be better 400 years from now,"
It most certainly is not I pretty much expect society in 400 years to be similar to 400 years ago.
I would go 400 years ahead.
shareLet's see...bubonic plague vs flying cars. I'll go with 400 years ahead.
sharei think it's a no-brainer to go for the future with the case as you've laid it out.
but if i could go 400,000 years back, or 4 million years back, i'd have to think very carefully, because i don't know if 400 years in the future would be more interesting than seeing how human societies lived 200k years ago, or having a chance to see what primate ancestors were really like.
we pretty much know what people were like 400 years ago and how they lived. but there are lots & lots of things we can't know for sure about our distant ancestors, & who wouldn't want to know that?
Right now is just splendid but if forced to choose I'd go back
Being alone and armed in Indian country has always had an odd appeal to me...I believe I would have made an exceptional Mountain Man/Hermit/White Indian type of guy
I don't want to see the future and could not bear to see all of my family and friends long gone...forget the future:/
The onion did a similar story about how people are less qualified then they think.

The onion story you linked means nothing if you’ve already been in more physical altercations than you care to remember. As shogun hinted to, some of us already have experience living off the land also.
