Do you think if you were teleported back to the bronze age, you'd be a weak little shit because everyone back then was built different? or maybe you'd own everyone hard because none of those fuckers ever been to a gym?

    well, i don't speak any language that people did then, so i'd be fucked wherever i ended up most likely.

    the only way i would do this, is if i could pick the time/date/position of my arrival (and have maybe a year to study everything i could about the larger forces during that time), and i could arrive as a baby/young toddler--thus regarded as helpless and taken in by some family, taught the local language and customs with patience and concern--but also retaining all the knowledge i currently posses. only under those circumstances could i reasonably hit the jackpot, so to speak, and make the risk of like disease and whatever worth rolling the dice.

    obviously, the end game is to go Year Zero on this MFer and run up the score to like "obsidian ziggurat so tall it pierces the eye of odin" type shit. like something where aliens cruise by and go, "...the fuck happened here?"
