The worry is not that you can change the future, itβs that you canβt predict what large change your small action will make. Be careful, literally anything you do might doom the human race!
Whoops! I just stepped in this pool of primordial goo.
Whoops! Nothing happened.
See what you've done?
This is exactly what I was thinking of when I made the original comment. I'm glad you got it.
Hey 000, I have a temporal crime to report
I may have doomed humanity by choosing to smoke this fat spliff and not engage with it outside of the small subset who are on Lemmy
If only you had chosen the slightly-less-fat spliff we would have all survivedβ¦
Humanity and my sanity be hanging in the balance of my enormous cannapetite. Damn that's a terrifying responsibility. I'd better smoke another to calm down
Or perhaps you've saved us all!
You're right! I'd better keep at it! It is a powerful responsibility but I'm blessed with a particular set of skills. Skills i have gained over a long career.
There goes my hero.
Your comment reminds me of the song Small Circle of Friends by Phil Ochs
Right there with you. I feel like Iβve somehow made a positive change.
Same as now
