minus-squareZozano@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-24 months agoACKTHUALLY My other post gave an answer which made sense. I would want to know what moment in the future causes me the most stress, which I don’t need to worry about at all. No paradoxes, just convenience. Also, I wasn’t saying money making wouldn’t work, only that your future you would cease to exist because you would have changed things. If you’re okay with suicide to offer your past self financial advice, then the same should be true of your future self. Personally, erasing that timeline seems unacceptable.

But like, she already doesn’t exist. So really all I’m doing is changing which 5 seconds from now me has to deal with the burden of existence.
