Re: If you could talk to your ancestors?

@queer

i’ll answer on behalf of your ancestors pal.

depends on how long ago you would like to go.

a million years? they’d resemble apes in some ways. and god wasn’t invented yet.

Ah … Atheistic ape like things

@queer

5 million years? they’d probably not even have a backbone.

Ah … Cowards

@queer

if you want to have a conversation, you’d probably have to go back less than 10,000 years or so.

Probably get more out them than today’s teenagers.

@queer

if you want them to be of your faith, maybe you should stick to less than 800 years.

“Thanks for choosing that faith … Great grandad many times over”

@queer

if you want them to understand your speech, maybe less than 300 years.

500 years later … “no worries great grandad o mine …”

I just don’t understand how a conversation can take place with someone around 10, 000 years away yet we can only understand one another if the time difference is only 300 years apart.
