Because you have a different view of time and space. You could go back in time and stay the same,it’s just a different timeline, where you see a younger version of yourself. But changing anything in his life don’t affect yours, only his. There can’t be paradox in this model.
Comment on Blue or red door?

Blue door is essentially erasing your own existence. Why do people even view it as an option? The me that made mistakes created the me today. If I erase those mistakes I wouldn’t exist. Just some other guy with an easy life.

The blue door implies that your current existence is the one changing your past, i.e. you retain the knowledge of your current existence. The ‘you’ that made those mistakes therefore still exists, as you would remember the mistakes you’ve made in order to correct them. The mistakes still happened, your timeline still exists/existed, you’re just now in an alternate timeline where your brain was surgically implanted into your younger self.

Exactly! I can’t count how many times I’ve messed up, but without them I wouldn’t be who I am today. Hence why I pick the red door, not for the money, but so that the experiences that shaped me still mean something.

True, true. One of the mistakes however is not buying tech stocks in their infancy, so you’d wind up with way more than 10m.

I’ve forgotten again that the average age on here skews 30+. All the big tech stocks were cheap when I was literally an infant, so I really misunderstood what you said.

It’s cool. Some of us in that category were just broke due to the Recession.
