Now this is going to seem like an odd answer, but,

 

I would like to be in the presence of all my ancestors... on my mothers side of her family and on my Fathers side of his family going way way back( cave men excluded for safety purposes 😄)....all in one room....  having a meal, and chatting about their lives, what the world was like for them day to day.... everything about them...sharing with them my world...my life.   As I have a limited family closeness, I would just enjoy meeting these people who are a part of me... who helped me have the life I have today.

I'm surprised at two names.  Sometimes we know a person for his/her invention but fail to understand what his/her philosphy about other people entailed.
