      You said you can’t change time or you cease to exist. What else are we supposed to do? You can’t exist and not change time.

        You cannot change it so much that you alter the future. Doesn’t mean that you can’t live a fulfilling life or run things from the shadows.

          But the catch is I dont know what will change time a lot or a little. If I get in an elevator and shit my pants in front of Utada Hikaru does she never write Simple & Clean? I simply cannot know, so with those rules I have to isolate.

            Why not operate under the assumption that your future self has already gotten away with everything? Taking advantage of the bootstrap paradox. Like Bill & Ted, everything around the dad’s keys. Might at least be fun, that way.

      Are you looking for ideas on things to do? When are you going back to 1945 and what part of the world would you be in?

      It worked for our ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years. Wake up, chase antelope until it dies, spend the rest of the day hanging out by the fire and maybe doing some fishing. Gonna get real good at cave paintings, honestly sounds pretty fucking good.
