Maybe include some ethical considerations in there as well as the scientific advancements. "Do this, don't do that"... Wait, what if that just turns into a religion...
Merdock
Honestly, probably focus more on how to think than what to think. I'd rather give advice on how to think scientifically and ethically rather than specific current scientific technologies and/or ethical principles.
Malloon
If civilisation collapses, I'd definitely try and encode some sensible beliefs into a religion. Including "Update and expand this list as needed, the author was fallible." It'd be the best way to pass on important things. Plus, without my meds, being the crazy holy person might be one of the only jobs I'd be suited for.

ishovethingsupmyass
Well that depends. Spirituality, as to know what to be human is isnt a scam, and thats what most religions are based off. In reality they are just textbooks for guidance, nothing more. Tje true reality is a void, nondescript. We just think we gather more and more about life.

Try reading it again. There's a clever joke
SomebodyalreadytookMyPants
That's the nicest thing anyone has said about me this week thanks!
SeeYaLaterMethamphetaGator
aw i dont get the joke :(
DazzelingToad
the joke is that some cave paintings are basically stick figures, one of the better know ones is that of hunters and a square looking bovine. My joke on that joke is sci fi trope of time travellers who run out of time
SeeYaLaterMethamphetaGator
unless the joke is that thats what is usually in caves, in which case i dont get why its clever :D
SomebodyalreadytookMyPants
To go back in time and do the exact thing someone from that time frame would have done. thus wasting your entire time travel trip was the joke
goodbyeitwasfunwhileitlasted
Given that I can travel through time, I would need to do a little research of my own for the setup, but I would end up writing the exact date, time, and global coordinates of the person who discovered my writings in the cave.
oldguyexlurker
"Yo, dude. I knew I could change things in the past enough to write this. 'Decided that would be far more interesting than trying to save millions of lives. Have a happy Saturday, June 7, 2025, Bob. Watch that rock on your way out. Wouldn't want you to trip over it... this time."
georgedragonslayer
Well that's just messed up. I like it.
BishlamekGurpgork
Date and time would be creepy, but the coordinates of the person discovering the cave are just the coordinates of the cave.
elganif
Depends on how much drift the cave in question has had in those 10'000 years. Giving the exact coordinates of the caves location at the moment of discovery would still be mind boggling even if you didn't have the date. (Given plate tectonics is a rather recent discovery) Also I am assuming that you are giving coordinates with enough decimals to be accurate to a few cm and not just rounded off at the minute.
BishlamekGurpgork
The point is, nobody would recognize it as the discoverer's coordinates. It's the time, date, and location of the DISCOVERY, when what they're actually trying to write is so much creepier and frightening. But nobody will ever understand what it is.
ExtremeCowEnthusiast

JAPONfan
I would befriend them and get one thing from their life they always wonder and then write answer to that "mike, the girl in 3rd year geology fancied you".
KingXizor
*honestly pushing for happiness* In two days Mike's girlfriend will stop by while you are playing cards with a friend of hers. Ask the friend out, trust me.
UnspokenX
even better- "Nobody will believe you, Tom." (or whatever the scientist's name is). It'll absolutely destroy his sanity.
Falkh12
Write it in a special ink that will disappear without a trace at the exact moment they finished reading it.
UnspokenX
hrrm... after 100,000 years? I don't know if that's really even possible.
ArdentSlacker
I must point out, you have a time machine, and the disappearing bit does not have to carbon-date like the rest.
UnspokenX
right, but getting the formula right so it expires EXACTLY after x time? Oops, missed the right ratio- it only lasted 98,995 years. better luck next time.

Wasn't there a story of an ancient Clairvoyant that did this? Like he wrote the exact day that he would be dug up and had it buried with him.
eggmuffin
Just make a sketch of their face, looking surprised.
CrispyNougat
But those coordinates would be the coordinates of your writings, because that's where the discoverer will be when they discover them.
goodbyeitwasfunwhileitlasted
Yes, and wouldn't you be confused if a 100,000 year old writing had the exact date, time, and place you had found it, using modern systems that couldn't have existed back then (given that you don't know time travel exists)
ionicseraph
Wouldn't that create a paradox? They can only find it after it's been written, but you can only go back to write when you know it's been found. Which one happened first?
Junktrunkjunkie
Not necessarily. After all the cave discovery itself could be the original catalyst. Then you travel back in time add your detail to it and return. Paradox free.
SergeiBoobtitsky
Yes.
TheDefective
well it depends, If, say, the site was already discovered at 2pm on a tuesday in march of 1992, and it was just drawings of horses originally, you could ADD anything you wanted to pull this trick off. Like "Hello bill carrington archaeologist, it's 2pm on a tuesday innit?"

If time travel existed, then wondering if time has to be linear is the least of your worries.

"which happened first" becomes a less meaningful question in this context. There is the main time line sequence, and the time traveler's subject experience sequence. They do not match. If they always matched, there would be no time travel.
