If you had the chance to talk to an important historical figure (MLK, Lincoln, etc.) would you ask them more about their life/experiences, or ask them how to solve today's problems?
I wouldn't expect them to grasp modern issues, so I wouldn't waste either of our time on it. I'd go for the historical perspective and, just maybe from that we could glean a solution to our modern dilemmas.
Hearing about their life experiences might give perspective on how they were able to solve problems. Combine that with our knowledge of current problems and who knows what we might be able to fix or improve.
I know, right? So we have this thing called the Internet, and this thing called the NSA is monitoring all of our activity on it and listening to all of our portable telephone calls.
