gollark: The future is like now, except Macron was developed.
gollark: I probably know more maths things™ than people from around then generally did, but not much of the history or motivation or how they did things without modern calculators and such.
gollark: Anyway, see, cyber, your knowledge of modern-day things are probably *not* amazing cutting-edge knowledge until maybe 1600, but then you can't do much because they lack the technology to do much.
gollark: If you want "much better computers" it will be harder, of course.
gollark: What? No, you can probably get "better computers" just by sending better designs to TSMC.
