RE: G-dog's weekend-engagement week seven: What would you do if... [Answer - Win hive!]

in OCD4 years ago

If I found a time machine I would go to the United States in 1928 because it is before the Great Depression started and I would like to experience by myself what was happening and what they were thinking about at that time to sink the economy in that way and so learn about specifically what not to do.

There is a lot of talk about a crisis in these times but that was a dark moment that I personally would like to learn about, and that I could look for any way to short the economy in that moment of the history.

Also that a few years later would start one of the most regrettable stages in world history but that I would also be interested to see, how it felt and what was talked about during those years.

Sort:  

Understanding events from the past can help prevent them happening in the future...Although despite us being able to see documented history quite clearly humans often repeat the mistakes from the past. Maybe having a time machine and seeing it first hand might help it sink in.

One thing why we need to experience things is that if we have a great negative emotional link to what happened, that is for sure that we will make it not happen again.

Still, it has to be by first hand experience so as soon as we are not in control of what happens (like a century later), then we humans can fall again by the same stone
