    Richest man in the past or average Joe in the present?

    If you were able to go back to the past (1800 and earlier) and become the richest person in the world, would you? Or do you think the modern comforts of an average life in the US/EU now beats being the top dog of 300 years past?

    Regardless of your answer, please explain how you arrived at your conclusion

      Rich men get more pussy. The time frame does not matter.

          Although I disagree with the second sentence, your first point is spot on. A relatively recent study indicates that kings and nobility have more surviving descendants. In fact, a large chunk of the world's population can trace their bloodline to past kings/rules. I'm trying to find the link.

              If you are rich 300 years ago you will enjoy in all good thing who were in that time, so time is doesn't matter cause you can buy everything available in that time.

                      Average in the present.

                      Sure being rich would rock, but in my 24 years on this planet, I can't see myself living in the past... Everything I know and do is all modern stuff... I'd probably be bored out of my fucking mind with thousands of dollars (Yeah, being rich back then was having like $100k in the bank) and nothing to do.

                      I'd rather have enough to get by and do what I want without thinking "hmmm, do I have enough money to do this or do I need to save a little more?" in the present.

                          Richest man in the past, fuck yeah. Then I'd at least not sit behind the computer all day long. I'd fuck bitches and crucify people I don't like.

                              Back in time, for sure.
                              1) There would still be huge sense of adventure with everything, and it would be exciting as you knew where everything was going. I'd try to avoid medeival times, wouldn't want to get strung up for being a witch.

                              2) You'd be able to travel and move with liberty, living real history. Amazing chance.

                              Still, I think being rich in the 20s would be something else

                                  Rich in the past. No question about it.

                                  Timeframe doesn't matter much but if anything rich in the past is even more powerful then rich now.

                                              If the choice came down to working 9 to 5 or being rich I'd choose rich.
                                              But if I could be an average Joe webmaster and work from home then I'd stay in the present. TV, net, loud music, medicine. Sure you'd get a lot of fair maiden pussy as a king in the past but that's one hour of your day gone, what can you buy in the past with all that money?

                                                  You guys are crazy. No electricity or indoor plumming no motorized vehicles. next time it's hot outside leave your air conditioning off all day then tell me how you feel about living in the past. You talk about all that pussy. Yeah pussy that didn't bathe but once a month. No cure for any VD that pussy might have. And syphilis kills.

                                                  No you wouldn't the fact you were in the past changes the past so history would turn out different. The only thing that wouldn't change would be things like natural disaters like volcanoes erupting and earthquakes.

                                                                                  Wasn't aware this would turn into a debate about causality / determinism / etc.

                                                                                  Actually, depending on your stance, you could argue that your going back in time was already determined, so the events that change etc in the past are integral in forming the current present as you know it..

                                                                                  Or, perhaps you'd be living in an uneffected state, where what you change simply reverts.

                                                                                  Really depends on how your 'universe' functions, or which standpoint you're looking at it from.

But only government players can use that. On the front of legality... smoking pot, eating shrooms, smoking poppies.... all legal in the past.

Being a black guy, I don't think being rich in the past is a good idea for me no matter how much money I could have. The world has come a long way to where I would imagine even if I was a broke black guy in the present it's better than any status would be for me in the past.

People were nasty back then - rotten teeth, dirty hair and skin . In the 1800s the stench at balls was so overwhelming - people would faint! And what about the wigs they were wearing?

                                                                                                              "By the mid 18th century, powdered wigs were a natural part of daily life and the height of fashion. Lots of movies that show old courtroom cases and trials have actors wearing these weird-looking white powdered wigs. The problem with the wigs back then was that people didn?t really bathe as often as we do today ? they didn?t have indoor plumbing, and getting and heating the water to fill a whole bath was hard and took a lot of time and energy. That being the case, people covered their dirty, oily, greasy, unwashed hair with powdered wigs and, as a result, the unwashed wigs became infested with lice and ? we?re not making this up ? even mice. In fact, the problem was so bad that someone invented a special scratching stick that most wig-wearers came to carry with them ? to itch their creepy-crawly scalps."

                                                                                                              If that goes for their hair, can you imagine what the pussy was like?....

No electricity or indoor plumming no motorized vehicles. next time it's hot outside leave your air conditioning off all day then tell me how you feel about living in the past. You talk about all that pussy. Yeah pussy that didn't bathe but once a month. No cure for any VD that pussy might have. And syphilis kills.



                                                                                                                  No you wouldn't the fact you were in the past changes the past so history would turn out different. The only thing that wouldn't change would be things like natural disaters like volcanoes erupting and earthquakes.
                                                                                                                  But you would think you lived in the modern world. You would think it was all cool because you would not know better.

Living comfortably, having a couple of properties, a bmw sports car, nice tvs etc and summer holidays wherever I feel like going.

                                                                                                                                      I can't ever imagine living in the past. Being the richest man would probably mean looking over your shoulder for someone trying to kill you. I'll stick with my life the way I have it right now thank you very much.
