Ask HN: Which period of humanity would you like omniscience?
Roughly:
64 MYA - 5 MYA
5 MYA - 800,000 BC
800,000 BC - 100,000 BC
100,000 BC - 10,000 BC
10,000 BC - 2,000 BC
2,000 BC - 0
0 - 700 AD
700 - 1492
1492 - 1776
1776 - 1919
1919 - Present day
Present day - 2150
I chose these dates based on how I roughly delineate important sections of history. There is more wiggle room as we travel backwards. I of course have a hard time picking one period as they are all fascinating. There have been so many mysteries in the post WWI period that I have to pick 1919 - Present day. Maybe their relevance to me reveals a self centered part of my self.
