Subject: If it's possible to go forward 200+ years as Buck did, would we know if someone from 1820 appeared now? Would we think them delusional and homeless? What reception would someone in 2226 make to someone from now showing up suddenly?

[> What an interesting question! I immediately thought if they were quick thinking as Claire, they might manage. But I do agree with you, Margaret, they could easily be dismissed, depending on where and among who, they landed. “Homeless are all on drugs” or “they want to be” infuriates me. I think about how easily it could happen to ANYONE who doesn’t have support in bad times. -- Kathy in PA, Tue, October 03 2023, 3:24:17
