I don't think I would change anything because I love my children. If I were to go back to observe something though, I would probably go and revisit my time that I lived with my grandmother just for the ability to see her again. Nothing to gain nothing or lose just the ability to see a moving picture of someone who was very important to me

[@NoProtocol]

This is sweet

[@lloydwaycott8178]

Why do you think going back would affect your procreation? Is there nobody you've hurt that you wouldn't like to go back and not hurt? Unless your children were the result of hurting that person I don't understand your decision.

[@RomaTomatoe]

@@lloydwaycott8178 It is a matter of the butterfly effect. Maybe going back and fixing a wrong causes a cascading effect that makes it so my children are never born. Maybe even that children are born, but different sperm make it to the egg and I end up with totally different children. Is it certain that would happen? No, but it is about risk of unintended consequences. A risk greater than 0 is too much

Nice analysis! The Grandfather reference is very good! It's along the lines of Schrodinger's Cat Box. I've never checked out Rant. I'll have to order one in a hard copy, just to have it on hand, should things go sideways on electricity. Back to to the subject: Karl's way of thinking is so simple that it makes so much sense. I still own (2) of his books, and they still keep me entertained. I think the best live video of him, was when he was riding upon a camel.

[@NoProtocol]

Sometimes there is sense out of his simplicity, yes. I still have a copy of that book and its been long enough that I'll probably re-read it soon. I'll check out the camel video!

[@JeffBedrick]

Time travel paradoxes is usually arise from the idea that time is like a single railroad track. However, even hypothetically, if you could travel back in time, your very presence implies that you have branched off into an alternate timeline than the one from your own past. My favorite use of time travel in fiction was a short science fiction murder mystery. The killer had a time machine and was able to escape the building where he committed the murder by going back in time and traveling down in an elevator that was going up. A very clever detective figured this out and caught him.

[@Aughtel]

What's it called? The book.

[@bedrickstudios6238]

@@Aughtel Sorry I don't recall the name. It was a short story in one of those cheap paperback anthologies, probably from the 1970s. However, a Google search shows that there are actually quite a few sci-fi novels that combine the themes of time travel and crime drama.

[@lordsesshoumaru8596]

that was stupid, you could just follow the person and confirm a time and place to commit the murder and not be caught and time travel back to that point..

[@SamuelBlack84]

Unless the changes that you make in the past actually create the established timeline you originally came from Just imagine if a time traveller went back to observe the Big Bang and actually caused it to happen in the first place

[@fgialcgorge7392]

Man, I really enjoy your channel. I share a lot of the same thoughts and similar views. I've often thought about going back in time, would I give myself advice, observe a moment or even relive a moment. I don't think I would. My life changed when I was graduating high school and I got a dog as a graduation present. He got parvo at 4 months old and needed some care afterward, it also gave him horrible separation anxiety due to the week he spent getting intravenous fluids at the veterinary hospital. I had been on the fence about joining the army(like everyone in my family for generations) or getting a job and paying for school at home. He tipped the scale back to staying home for the time being. I found out about a year later I have CIDP(chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy). I would not be able to join the infantry or do Ranger school and eventually I couldn't even join at all due to random tremors and numbness. I always tell myself "things turn out how they're supposed to." It's something my dad often says but looking back he's kinda right. Would I have gone down the same career path? I like to think so but who really knows?

[@lordsesshoumaru8596]

You're magnificent, that you're aware of Karl and actually get that he's profound in his simple mind. I side with Karl pretty much all the time but then he told a story that his girlfriend caught him using a knife in a toaster or something about cooking beans in a toaster, it was something incredibly stupid and dangerous and I was like, damn he really is dumb, but profound in the common sense reasoning when he explains things.

[@NoProtocol]

I heard him tell of a story of his girlfriend Suzanne walking in to him cooking sausages in the toaster & it gave me a chuckle

[@lordsesshoumaru8596]

@@NoProtocol I think that was it and he was jamming something metal in there to get the sausages out, it was definitely wild.

[@peternavarrete5128]

Love your channel. Love your smile. 😎👍💙

[@MylezNevison]

Their time travel question doesn't challenge people's true feelings/motivations though... A slightly more probing hypothetical would be, "if you had a machine that could make you experience all alternate realities/versions of yourself & know the decisions they made to become better than your current self... after experiencing better (smarter, wiser etc) versions of yourself would you use the machine to change the decisions you made that robbed you of a better future/version of yourself? (A bit long winded of a question, l know, but forgive & indulge me 😂) The problem with the initial time machine question is most people who say, "l wouldn't change anything..." think they are better presently for having gone through their mistakes/trauma because they learnt lessons (they assume they are better because of their mistakes). I'm arguing that if these people could experience better versions of themselves who got the exact same lessons but without going through the same trauma, they wouldn't be so quick to say "l wouldn't change a thing." Because at that point to say you wouldn't use the machine to avoid needless pain is essentially being a glaton for pain/a masochist of a sort. It's easier to say you wouldn't change anything when you can't see the better versions of yourself you are potentially giving up.🤷🏾‍♂️

[@johnthompson6374]

My favorite Karl was him not wanting to travel to where he might eat frog legs then maybe end up liking the taste of frog legs and then not being able to find frog legs back in the UK making him so sad so the best decision is to not travel at all. Karl is a simple genius❤. Peace/JT

[@Mikael_Puusaari]

I've lived through a lot of weird, bad, embarassing and painful things, but even if I wish I had not have to live through the things or wish that I could go back and change it, I don't think I would Thinking of those things it is easy to see that I would have missed out on a lot of experiences, wisdom and understanding.. when I inevitably will find myself in the same kinds of situations, without the experience I would probably make the same mistakes that I did in my past and also be struck much harder from the painful things, which I've learned to handle and accept through those experiences Time travel is way more paradoxical than just the grandfather paradox, it is more like anything u do in the past to the power of the butterfly effect.. every single second in the past will change the lives of everyone around u, they might just give u a glance while passing u by on the street and it will inherently lead to every single action that they make in the rest of their lives being out of sync of the timeline that they would otherwise live in, and it would lead to them similarily changing the lives of everyone that they come in contact for the rest of their lives, putting their lives out of sync with their timeline What it would mean is that every single person that were affectd in any way by any action starting with the time traveler would then have the wrong sperm winning the race when a couple decides to have children, so it would be entirely different people in the world.. thus it would be entirely impossible to time travel without creating another reality entirely The only possibility for a "safe" time travel would be the multiverse theory where another dimension entirely is created if the timeline is changed, that means the timeline u meant to change will not be changed and everything will remain as it is there, but u create another timeline where u will continue to live in from that point.. if that would be the case, u won't be able to return to the future since the future is never created until one timeline has gotten there by the "normal" flow of time and it would only be possible to go back in time

[@ChirumboloFilm]

If the scenario is you can only observe, I wouldn't want to go back and see my past self. If I could affect changes to see what would have happened if I had made different choices, that I would love to see. I would need to have access to some kind of reset button as well so I could continue existing. I wouldn't want to accidentally blink myself out of existence only to be replaced by another me that didn't know what I knew before I created him. Hope this makes sense.

I would say going back in time could only be possible if we were living in a 'many worlds' reality. Paradoxes such as the grandfather one would be avoided because a new parallel universe would be created the moment you travelled back and altered the past.

[@Ebonhawk3829]

If I mess up the sequence of events leading to my birth, then I can't go back in time to mess things up because I never existed. That's the paradox I guess? I think I'd be more interested in how this hypothetical universe where time travel is possible, it stops me from breaking the "time line". Makes me also think about the impossibilities of knowing the time/place of your death ahead of time, as that paradoxically makes you immortal until that point

Pretty sure if we ever invent time travel in future, we'd have already known about it since forever, and the people that come from the future would retrospectively bring the technology or knowledge back to grab whatever power it inevitably would unleash, this would basically cause everything in terms of future technological breakthroughs to effectively exist all at once, and we'd start talking about future events in the past tense "Hey, see this? They call it a bohikimoturadomator and it was invented a long time in the future in 3247". Then when we get to 3247, we need to make sure somebody remembers how to 'invent' all the things that have new been obsolete and redundant for over a thousand years, and send them back in time, just to ensure the existence of all the new technology that's since been invented, creating a paradoxically perpetual loop. Unless it involves building some kind of 'receiver' and therefore you cannot go back beyond the time the first 'receiver' is constructed, but once it's constructed, similar chaos explodes.

For the grandfather paradox, I think that any visit that will occur from the future to the past has already happened. So nothing changes.

[@controlfreak3587]

I can look back at my life (like I think most people can) and see a few major decisions I've made that I wish I had made differently. However, changing one tiny thing 30 or so years ago would change everything since (butterfly effect of course). I wouldn't be married to my wife ... I wouldn't have my kids. Those things are unacceptable to me. So I wish I had made those decisions differently, but if I somehow had the chance, I would never change a thing.

[@NoProtocol]

This is how I thought of it as well. Changing anything in the past would be a risk to the present

[@caleidoo]

I could imagine wanting to go back to times where I had an argument with someone and it didn't get resolved or emotions were involved. I'd want to listen what they said and maybe, as an "outsider" in that moment, understand their point of view better. I don't know, just something that popped in my head. You could learn from yourself and the other person. So purely in function of clarity. About changing stuff, that would depend entirely on the fact whether my own timeline gets changed or not. For example, I could go back to a moment where an old lady wanted to cross the road, but I ignored her and kept walking. Now I go back and help her. Only to get run over and end in a wheelchair myself. That would kinda kill the mood.

[@casemcdonald2152]

There's another angle, that you exist already. You can't affect your past with actions in your future. Maybe you had always done that, and that's why you were able to be born. Maybe the timeline you came from collapses, but you're not in it anymore, and the new timeline is created. There are too many uncertainties, and possibilities, to examine them all. However, YOUR life will certainly continue on it's course. ...or will it? It's uncertain.

[@Robert-hz9bj]

Time travel on myself would be pointless. I've already experienced those moments, good and bad, so why experience them again? Now, if I could check out a point in the distant past, like the Bronze Age Collapse or see that Babylonian guy who wrote down the world's oldest "yo mama" joke, THAT might be worth considering...

While we romanticize the idea of going back, in person or ghosted, it probably wouldn’t be a good idea. Even the tiniest change could have enormous effects on the future (Chinese butterfly/Chicago hailstorm tenet).
