The act has to be small(ish). You can’t say “Make everyone vote a certain way!” As an example I’ll give mine.
- Take all of the money I currently have in savings and invest in Nikola Tesla and attempt to slander Edison.
- Ride the train with Edgar Allen Poe and make sure that he made it to wherever he was going safely and keep an eye on him for a few days to make sure he was ok.
- Sit on top of the library of Alexandria with a SOPMOD and several hundred magazines worth of ammo.
Update: gotta say, there’s a lot less “save my favorite musician from death” or some such than I thought there’d be.
No one answered why, not even OP.
Felt mine were a little self explanatory. But 1. Because Tesla wanted to make electrical power a human right and was arguably the better inventor and thinker. 2. Because Poe was one of my favorite authors and he was on the way to fixing his life. And 3. Because it was the loss of so much knowledge.
FTFY
I mean, I agree with you.
That was less for you than for the people who come after, still ignorant of the crimes of Edison. A just world would not even remember Edison’s name.
We hardly live in a fair world, much less just.
Totally the wrong place in the thread, but I think just going to the Library, proving that you are from the future with some basic knowledge of chemistry, and telling them that they need a backup in the caves of the Sinai Desert would probably be my go-to. Give them some pointers on multi-millennium document storage.
