1000 years (just for fun)

[Rev. Rye]

Future. I've got a general idea of what it was like 1000 years ago, and looking at the wikipedia page for 1017 AD, I don't see much worth looking into. That said, of the eight events listed on the page, two involve King Cnut of England and eventually Denmark and Norway. If this was the year he tried and failed to get the tide to stop moving, I might consider it (or if this was one of the years the Vikings inhabited Vinland), but overall...





Meanwhile, there is, practically by definition, a hell of a lot more novelty in the future, and it could be literally anything. Maybe all the shit we worry about will be solved (most likely creating a whole new set of problems in the process), maybe we'll have destroyed ourselves (if Donald Trump, who repeatedly asked foreign policy experts why we don't use nukes, turns out to not be the last president of his kind, this is a distinct possibility.)

Maybe if you scaled back your timescale, I might be more  inclined to go into the past, but with 1000 years, the choice is clear.
