Who in history would you like to meet?

#1
Who from history would you like to meet, and what would you want to talk about?





I think if I had to pick a person, my mind goes to three people


Either an old philosopher like a stoic, and try to discuss christianity with them as a future thing that would happen, and their opinion on it

( Paul does talk with stoics in Greece in the Bible, in Acts 17 if you want to read the encounter )




Or



Scopenhauer, try to get him out of hopeless slop, although he may just be a cranky man you can't argue with




Or



Martin Luther, to talk about how awful the schooling system is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther

I was reading through his wikipedia page one time and apparently

"The three schools focused on the trivium: grammar, logic and rhetoric.


Luther later compared his education there to purgatory and hell."

Sometimes it may be the wiser decision to just read about the lives of people who lived in the past, but not actually meet them face to face.

These people may have attitudes or perspectives that could very well baffle a normal person.

George Washington. He was a great man and a white identiatarian. He was also our 15th president and the first president of the united states after the articles of confederation were preceded by the constitution.

Meeting a soldier who served on the front lines during the War on Terror would definitely be an interesting experience. Possibly even an once-in-a-lifetime one.

Not a general, though, because those guys tend to see soldiers on the battlefield as assets to be managed rather than as actual people.

Stan Lee- I'd love to meet a young Stan Lee and watch him work on his most famous comics

Jesus Christ - just so I can see him walk on water and all that other fancy stuff 🤔 and see what happens if I stop him from being crucified? 🤔how would history change and how would it affect Christianity or whatever other religion follows a similar religious history

Young Me- So I can tell myself invest 1000$ into Bitcoin and don't see until 2020 at the earliest

Isaac Newton, i'd ask him whether he'd still believe in God with the current scientific knowledge and theories ( Evolution theories, Fine-Tuning etc. )

Also Philosophical arguments ( e.g. Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways, Contingency Argument )

Idk who else
