I’ll be honest, looking at how stupid people are today, I absolutely have no curiosity in seeing how stupid people were 300 or 400 years ago
Okay I don’t wanna sound too cynical, but let’s even forget complex physics, how are you going to even teach basic physics, and how likely are they are to even listen to you? Yes every action has an equal and opposite reaction, what’s a peasant gonna do with that knowledge? Unless you bring a real piece of technology with you, I feel it would be very hard to get their attention.
Yeah I don’t see how much chance you’d have with trying to share all your future knowledge, you might get really lucky and meet some scholar that takes you under his wings but chances are much higher of getting burned at the stake/beaten to death.
You might have a slightly better chance just trying to fit in acting dumb and using your knowledge to get ahead, but of course for that we have to conveniently ignore that you’d get utterly fucked by the new-to-you bacteria and infections and probably will die from some paper cut.
Also, I think your knowledge might be hard to apply and wouldn’t be very useful in getting you ahead, while the others have skills that are useful in their time and you don’t (languages and societal norms, for a start)
