    The most frustrating thing about time travel is that people widely understand that almost any minor action you take can have mortal consequence, but nobody applies the same truth to living in the present.

      Because fucking with time travel can affect your existence, but meanwhile, present actions only affect people in the future.

      It’s the standard “I only care when it affects me personally” thought process.
