Great minds think alike!

Didn't forget to bet on the cubbies!

We all know this was the only right answer

I see 3 outcomes, in order of least to most in likelihood and excitement:

1. Julius see's the error in his ways and establishes what essentially is an entirely new politcal system that is so good and just that It would stand today.

2. Same scenario as above except his grandson grows up to one day claim his rule and reverses everything.

3. He is killed, and for the exact same reasons as current lore. Either because his arrogance causes him to deny what will happen, or because regardless of any attempt to avoid such an outcome those who sought the power he had would still seek out that same power. Both lessons are fairly important but I think the latter one is often missed in the countless retellings. Power both corrupts and it's one sexy hot bitch.

Side question, but would ancient Romans be able to decipher a modern day language from one book? I'd imagine a language with Latin based words might be easy enough but not sure how equipped they were.

I miss /r/AskHistorians

He couldn't get himself to read a note an eavesdropper to the conspirators gave him trying to warn him about the attack, I sadly doubt he'd read a whole prophetic book.

I confused Franklin for Edison (!) and almost gave you a downvote for an excellent troll.

Send it to Tesla himself, then he can use it as a starting point not an end point.

Carved into stone. So you're sending them a literal mountain

Some people are just one hit wonders, so it could be für nothing. But it would be worth a try.

It's definitively better than to give the idea of nuclear fission to Henry Cavendish in 1766. Right now we live in the sweet spot between discovery and... broad practical application.

I wonder how long it would take to start diverging. There's a maximum volume of trades you can make before you start having an impact on the prices yourself. Knowing the future perfectly means eventually you would be the most dominant force on the market unless you tempered yourself. But having a book is just having a snapshot of a single reality that your reality will start diverging from.

The show The Travelers addresses this a bit, but I think even that one underestimates how much a new player will full knowledge of the future market would affect that future market.

Not the best days to sell as well?

Biff?

Hitler was egomaniacal I don't think he would have a change of heart, but instead use any information too alter the outcome.

But if you're going to send a book to one of the worst people in history it's gotta be one of the worst books in history. Just gotta find the right age to send him The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss. I need AI to get to the next level so I can see how this might play out.

We're in the timeline where he was stopped and had to kill himself, not sure I really want to give him any pointers about how to further his agenda but slightly differently and avoiding some tactical mistakes. I don't think he's going to take from the book that his world view was wrong or that for the good of Germany he should abandon his goals.

Already happened and we are living in that shit timeline

That would start a religion.

They loved their numerology back then.
