I mean in the context he's talking about, living through it. It's already happened so there's no potential there. It'd have nothing to offer me if I went there. If I had to pick between traveling back to the past or forward into the future, I'd pick the future.

Besides if you think abou it, the people who lived during and before 70's/80's are the one's who have/are turning the world into what it is now. So clearly the past wasn't as great as we make it out to be or it wouldn't have created the place we're are living in.
