You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.
The way your society currently discriminates and segments humans is not universal
Right?
We’re going on a tangent here, but I feel like Western progressives, particularly with anglo backgrounds, tend to think the entire world runs by their parameters and always has. There is nothing intrinsic to the current kinds of bigotry in their societies. It’s pretty arbitrary and specific, in fact.
@MudMan yeah this. Threads like this make me really wish more non-western ancient history was taught in schools.
Especially ancient Africa! Look up Mansa Musa, king of Mali. Carthage too. Zimbabwe. Benin. Egypt too, it’s in Africa.
As an American, I wholeheartedly agree. I often wish I had a sturdier foundation in world history.
