Nothing, no one would listen to me and I doubt I could get away with killing billionaires or destroying their property

The guy that made LED headlight tech for cars would disappear, that’s for sure.

I dont know how much I’d be able to actually do, but I could whore bitcoin hard and use the money charitably.

Cancel Celebrity Apprentice before it aired

I mean, I’m still just one person, so uhhhh guess I’m taking out a lot of people before they get security detail.

I’d make sure a lot of people causing big trouble today wouldn’t be able to cause that trouble if you catch my drift.

If I go back in time, with the friend group I had at the time, I could conceivably beat Zuckerberg to market with Facebook.

The one thing I realize about questions like this is that they are simply pointless. There is very little an ordinary individual can do to alter much. Even if you got taken back in time to the right time and place to make a change, what would that look like? People write stuff that predict the future all the time. Technofascist predictions about the internet being used by a few jackasses to monitor everyone and keep people under control have been written in the 90s, but no one listened at the time.

Assassination? Good luck! Even if you got teleported back in time to 1997 and were armed with a gun and right outside a room with an unsuspecting Peter Thiel and Elon Musk (and maybe a few others) would blowing them away genuinely ‘solve’ the problems we have today? Or would it simply allow for another person to step in and do the same shit but just with a different name and face?

Enriching yourself using well timed lottery numbers is practically the only thing that would make things better for you, but while that would mean you can relive those years in complete comfort (even luxury) if your objective is to change the world then it is a hollow one.

I’d write a list of future events and share it everywhere I can, editorializing of course to make sure them coming to volition validates my political views, and then use the eventual fame to shape the world in my image.

Ignoring that path, and with no political sway of my own …

I’ve got nothing. I’d be like 5 years old and Australian. And overall Australia’s doing pretty fine. If there’s one issue I’d focus on it’s digital privacy and my biggest adversary there would be Google. IDK, there’s not really one domino I can affect to change things. Maybe warn about 9/11 and the subprime mortgage crisis but I’m pretty sure other people already did both of those to no avail. Plus I’d be 2 or so years old at the time of 9/11 so that’d probably not go well.

I’m going to visit the Cincinnati Zoo in 2016 and stop this one kid kid from falling into a gorilla enclosure.

Be really obnoxious about the ballot format in the Florida 2000 election until they either fix it or news outlets do a good job educating people about how to correctly vote for Gore

Find Elon musk and tell him that only betas use ketamine, and real epic cyberlords smoke fent

Pretty sure that’s how we got here in the first place.

Considering I’d just be some guy, I’d invest all of my money in Nvidia and Bitcoin then when I get back and have millions, I’d spend it on passing wealth taxes and raising the minimum wage.
