hey simulacra, I apologize for being such a... well, you know. I post on some sports boards, and the wrong attitude followed me over here.
I try to be open minded, titors story is very interesting, one of my favorite books is about time travel (dean koontz, lightning) but the story just has so many holes. I must confess I haven't read a lot of the titor posts, can you shed some light on a few things ?
does he ever give his birthdate ?
does he ever explain how the time travel device was developed ? what I mean is what it a small group of survivors or a gov't project ?
why is he the only traveller (that we know of) to use the technology ? is his machine a one-of-a-kind?

I believe he states that the deviation from his timeline and ours is not that large.

Ok, but if he wasnt born until after all these events happened, and he was a rebel at 13, I think I can say he wasn't very educated. How did he learn so much of our history so fast?

And I still want to know why they would send Titor back and not someone who had an education?

Being a rebel doesn�t necessarily mean that he's uneducated. It can actually mean the exact opposite. Rebelling against a system of social enslavement is a sign of awareness which leads to education. But who said he was a rebel? Correct me if I�m wrong but when he was 13 he just wandered around trying to not be another victim of whatever war/catastrophe that was going on.

According to John Titor they sent back a few people in order to reclaim some of the lost technology of 2036. And what makes you think that he didn�t have an education?

He was being trained by to understand the fabrics of time travel. During the course of his postings he did a pretty thorough job explaining exactly how time travel works.
