When people think about travelling to the past, they worry about accidentally changing the present, but no one in the present really thinks they can radically change the future.#SteveThoughts #Vote #Electionday pic.twitter.com/xfqcdeGT0z

The problem with this idea is that people see the future as both capable of perturbation but fundamentally unpredictable. Since counterfactuals are impossible, who knows if they are right?

I suspect that the future is not very perturbable by an individual nor very predictable so most people if they traveled to the past would have almost no effect at all but a few individuals would have huge effects. This is what the chronologically-normal world is like, so why would a world where time travel is possible be that much different?

However, if corporations controlled the time machines, we’d all be dead.
