Careful, reality might just destroy you instead to avoid the paradox. I suspect that’s how it avoids all of the paradoxes if time travel is possible in a single timeline universe. And this idea isn’t compatible with the multiple timeline time travel idea (otherwise the electron will end up in a different timeline each time it jumps backwards).

How could you destroy 2, if there’s only one?

That’s why it would fuck over causality

Ah, you’re viewing it as a timetravellers’ dilemma.
My view was more that we’re an observer in the lagrangian solution of the differential equation we call life. The electron, being a constant in the equation. Remove the electron, you alter the equation, therefore destroying known life.
