Let's assume this is a earth-like world, just with a slightly different timeline. <br><br>I imagine it would be a major mental blow.<br><br>The very fact that you're alive and in the world would be the biggest news in the world. My whole life people would be following my life, my decisions, how I live, what I do, what my life goals are, what I find in life, how I find it, what I love and what I hate.<br><br>It's not like you'd be someone a lot of people know, like a superstar celebrity. It's not even on the level of being the first astronaut or first person on the moon.<br><br>It's on the level of discovering America, discovering fire, or discovering the wheel. Because I'd be a fundamentally new thing in the world, and what I do and how I act and what I choose to do with my existence in this world would be news.<br><br>I would be a fundamentally new thing. The first of my kind. They would literally give me a different name for humans. That's the level of importance.<br><br>It would be a huge thing.
