Great Question. I'd go to the future, not sure how far tho.

I would too, maybe 200 years forward. I’m hoping by then most natural causes of death would be mostly figured out and poverty hopefully being a thing of the past.

People in the 1800s thought the same. It’s not going to get better.

But we have figured out most causes of death from the 1800s don’t downplay the huge impact modern medicine has had!

Because that benefits the people in power as well. Ending poverty is just not something they are interested in

We are doing a bit better now than we did in the 1800s though.
