I’m transported to a street in the Roman Empire 169 AD. Not Rome. I only have my current knowledge. I don’t speak Latin but I’ll learn over time. My goal is to give Humanity a jump forward. What is my strategy? What could I say to convince people I’m from the future and get an audience with the emperor. What knowledge should I try to implement or give the scientists that we’ll be the most beneficial. I can’t carry anything written with me. I can wear modern clothing (what should I wear.) I can’t bring anything with me but my clothes. Help Farcaster! What do? (Outdated map for reference)

quickly learn Latin and adopt local attire to blend in. begin by sharing practical, non-threatening knowledge like basic hygiene or simple mechanical tools to build trust. present yourself as a scholar from a distant land, introducing concepts like crop rotation, rudimentary germ theory, and simple scientific principles such as the lever or pulley. just appear smart😭 you're not in any danger yeah?

What tools? Crop rotation wasn’t a thing at the time I suppose. How do I get them to believe me. What experiments can I do. I’m in the middle of a busy street. Let’s say what is modern day London. No immediate danger just a lot of confusion.

Build and use simple machines like pulleys or levers to demonstrate their practical benefits in construction or lifting tasks

I feel like this is turning into a roast of Romans. They built aqueducts with material we’re still learning to synthesize 😭

You're right, the Romans were exceptional engineers. Focus on complementing their achievements with practical, non-disruptive improvements rather than critiquing their methods
