    okay im not a hater BUT i think out of all prehistoric periods the cambrian would be the safest. as long as you stay away from sea scorpions and orthocones maybe you could pretty much fight anything else off. and if you did need food you could probably just kill and eat an anomalocaris since its basically just a big shrimp. the bacteria stuff is true but thats not really a cambrian specific issue

    Hmm🤔interesting! Since I’m interested in the history of prehistoric creatures whether in sea, land or sky, this is one of my favorite videos of........WHAT IF You lived in the Cambrian Period.
    I know is too far fetched and providing I had my own Time Machine it would be one of those periods I’d travel🧳in time,🧭 as fascinated and astonished I would be to see how all these prehistoric animals evolved it would also be frightening too.

    chemistry, biology, geography, economy, army
    science, quantum, history, have every single academic title a to z, etc...
    and quick mental calculation that can predict what will happen in future from those information above
    and say to the whole world "don't do this, because you will get this result" and/or "do this so you will get this result" and "this might feel bad for you but it is actually good for you, this might feel good to you but it is actually bad for you"

      I Asked ChatGPT and changed the world to their childrens
      ChatGPT 3.5:
      While having a vast range of knowledge and the ability to predict outcomes may make a person highly intelligent, it doesn't guarantee that others, such as the person's children, will unquestionably follow their guidance. Several factors come into play when considering the likelihood of people following advice or instructions:
      Trust and Relationship:
      Trust is a critical component. If the person has a strong and trusting relationship with their children, the likelihood of the children following their guidance is higher. Trust is built over time through consistent and reliable behavior.
      Individual Choices:
      People, including children, have their own personalities, desires, and ambitions. They may choose to follow or disregard advice based on their own beliefs and values.
      Personal Experiences:
      Sometimes, people need to experience things firsthand to truly understand the consequences. Even with the best advice, individuals may still choose to go their own way and learn from their own experiences.
      Communication Skills:
      How the information is communicated matters. Effective communication involves not just sharing knowledge but also understanding the emotions and perspectives of others. If the person is able to communicate their insights in a compelling and empathetic manner, it might increase the chances of being heeded.
      Relevance and Context:
      The advice provided should be relevant to the current situation and consider the unique circumstances of the individuals involved. A one-size-fits-all approach may not be effective.
      Autonomy and Independence:
      As individuals grow, they seek autonomy and independence. Even with the best guidance, there may be instances where they choose to make their own decisions, whether good or bad, as part of their personal growth.
      Open-mindedness:
      People are more likely to follow advice from someone who respects their opinions and is open to dialogue. If the person is too authoritative or rigid, it might lead to resistance.
      In summary, while possessing immense knowledge and predictive abilities can be advantageous, guiding others, especially children, involves more than just information. Factors like trust, communication, individual autonomy, and personal experiences play crucial roles in influencing whether people follow guidance or not.🤣
