The [url=http://www.deepspirits.com/time-machine/]Time Machine[/url] is filled with inspiring people, the greatest minds of the past 20 centuries.
If you could spend a whole day with one of them, and only one, whom would you choose and why?

You could just take one of those handy universal translators with you. :)
Yes, you would have to learn Italian first.
Would you learn it in order to be able to communicate with one of them?

It would be great to spend the whole day with Plato and talk about all these ideas that have always fascinated me since I have read his work and learned about him.
I love his world of ideas and the Form of Good and the way how to achieve it ;
To psychology he left the world of shadow (therefore I also love C.G.Jung) and that only by coming out to the light(metaphor of cave), we shall be able to be free and able to really see;
His legacy to humanity by explaining Moderation, Emotional Balance(IQ&EQ) and Self acquaintance as ultimate human achievement is something very close to my heart and understanding of true values;
His need to spread knowledge through Academy that lasted for thousand years is how I see the role of leading human minds;
I love his ideas about dreams and two halves of souls who are in search for each other in order to become one(soul mates or kindred souls)
Oh, I would enjoy such a talk very much.

It would be a never ending talk.
