>>16224441I never saw the movie, hopefully it wasn't shit. The book was alright. Maybe the movie is better than the book.
In the book I don't think he learned the language in one day. But in the future you were describing, I think you're not considering some advances in technology. Consider how much surveillance there is in the world today and how ubiquitous facial recognition technology is. For years kids have been messing around with those animated filters on their phones that turn them into animals or whatever. In the future this type of tech will have advanced to being able to detect, in real-time, people's emotions and feelings. You'll know if someone is tense or relaxed. You'll have an idea if they're telling the truth or not. You'll have some idea about their intentions. And this is all assuming we don't develop some kind of technology to read and interpret brain activity at a distance. Elon is already working on similar things, why wouldn't he want Neuralink tech to be wireless?
The point is that trespassing might be less dangerous because there would be automated ways of determining whether or not you're a threat. If they detect that you're simply a lost and confused person, they might assist you, or at least call the police or something, then at the police station because of the procedures and formality of everything there they'd easily know you're not a crazy person. They might not be able to tell right away that you're a time traveler, but like you mentioned, you'd appear so out of place that they'd consider stranger possibilities, like maybe you lived off in the wilderness alone somewhere. You might even be able to communicate some things to them. I imagine eventually they'd try to get someone to help communicate with you or at least forward you along their way. With the hobos, some hobos are scary but also some aren't. Let's say 65% would attack people, which is a generously high amount I think.
