gentleunicorn-93 OP

If you could travel back in time and had an easy opportunity of killing a person who is gonna be a mass murderer then would you kill that person?
(Note: That gonna be person has not yet started killing yet but the day of his first victim or action is near)

gentleunicorn-93 OP

And yes, you can travel back to present after killing that person

swiftorchid-87

Myself..

swiftorchid-87

but if i killed myself in past

swiftorchid-87

then i dont exist in future..

swiftorchid-87

if i dont exist in future

swiftorchid-87

then how did i went in past to unalive

swiftorchid-87

myself

swiftorchid-87

hence a paradox and so..universe will explode

swiftorchid-87

:grin2:

gentleunicorn-93 OP

Bro you didn't read the question or something... I asked if you kill a person who is known as a serial killer in the present but they haven't started killing in the past yet :cat:

livelycactus-72

Side note

livelycactus-72

What is the acceptable amount of time to have passed before monstrous world leader turns into a cool historical figure

livelycactus-72

Like a lot of people think genghis khan is cool asf

livelycactus-72

But like bro was mongolaion htler

gentleunicorn-93 OP

👀

grandquiver-69

No cos that's trying to change the course of history, things r supposed to happen as they r and even if I want to kill someone who did a lot of evil in the past I wouldn't do it

gentleunicorn-93 OP

Hmmm. Good answer

snowyorange-96

My step dad

snowyjungle-82

Nah....

snowyjungle-82

Change my mind
Yh for order
" "he even approved it,
Not a crime in my part in anyway
Cus According to some clown here if there is consent then it is consensual
And okay

merryumber-25

If halting the lost lives is the target, you could even help the person from ever choosing such a path, ideally saving all the lives, with the life of person

quickbadger-36

It would cause a time problem

quickbadger-36

Since you went back in time that past is your present

quickbadger-36

Nd you k someone in that present and going back to the future

quickbadger-36

It's probably not going to create the future that you expect

quickbadger-36

Might just get another killer

quickbadger-36

:straightface:

pearlguitar-88

I would try to make him a better person and maybe if that didn't work i will do it

quickbadger-36

And also the future isn't written in stone. So until he does those things. You can certainly say that is how his future would turn out to be

pearlguitar-88

So what you mean to say is the he's future won't change

quickbadger-36

I meant, just like you can't tell if you would be alive tomorrow or the next, going back to the past. Makes that past your present. So you if you can't eliminate the person thinking they would still have the same future that you came from

quickbadger-36

The whole act would create a different future in which unfortunately in that timeline he was supposed to be a normal Nd regular dude yet you killed him

pearlguitar-88

That makes so much sense me trying to make him better made him who he is

pearlguitar-88

So i would kill him

quickbadger-36

:r_kermitcorner: I think you got me wrong

quickbadger-36

My point. We can't change what has happened if it was meant to happen

pearlguitar-88

So you didn't mean the outcome wouldn't change

quickbadger-36

If you do that. You would just get alot of time paradoxes

quickbadger-36

Some of which can break the whole fabric of time Nd space

pearlguitar-88

But if i try would it work tho ??

pearlguitar-88

Damn

quickbadger-36

Well, yes the person wouldn't exist after the year in the past ended them. But that doesn't grant that you would get a future that you predicted

grandquiver-69

So basically Fate

quickbadger-36

You might go back to the future Nd suddenly in that future you are the criminal

zestyrocket-73

Hey

pearlguitar-88

Mhmmm i see

quickbadger-36

Also, time travel unfortunately might never be possible :r_kermitcorner:

quickbadger-36

Cause to go back in time even just for a minute

quickbadger-36

You would have to revert not just time but space Nd matter

quickbadger-36

And also do that for the whole universe

grandquiver-69

Reminds me of a show abt time travel

grandquiver-69

It was an interesting concept

quickbadger-36

Yeah

quickbadger-36

But there are fastinating ones that might be possible

quickbadger-36

Revert your whole process,from adult to child

quickbadger-36

I don't know if you would retain your experience but it would be altering the body on a cellular level

grandquiver-69

Having certain strict rules to it would also be important to minimise any risks

grandquiver-69

Or using time travel to learn abt facts in the past in order to change events during the present

quickbadger-36

Well, there are strict rules of time travel if it was ever possible

quickbadger-36

Although most movies tend to bend them

gentleunicorn-93 OP

Finally the answer which I was finding :pepecry2:

gentleunicorn-93 OP

:pepecry2:
Yes!!! That's exactly the kind of answer I wanted

swiftorchid-87

accordign to real world...u may become the reason of his choice of chosing that path

swiftorchid-87

its also a theory

swiftorchid-87

that if time travel is possible

gentleunicorn-93 OP

But trying is all I wanted though

swiftorchid-87

then maybe u cant change the past

swiftorchid-87

but u were always the reason of that thing happening

swiftorchid-87

then kill em..its would be 100% success rate

merryumber-25

Going by ur argument someone related to them might choose the path because they lost a person

merryumber-25

So it depends on what you quantify as help in such hypothetical situations

swiftorchid-87

yea exactly

swiftorchid-87

but

swiftorchid-87

this is more of a moral question here..so if we dont account for the fact that past can't be changed and future will not be severly affeccted(which is not possible)

swiftorchid-87

only then the helping scenerio may help

swiftorchid-87

if not then killing may be the only option

merryumber-25

Yeah, going by that, a better reply to it would be removing the intent of unpositive nature, by fostering and nurturing positive values for all humans since the beginning

merryumber-25

Essentially creating an ideal world with ideal situations

merryumber-25

With extinct intents, no harsh stuff cud ever happen

quickbadger-36

:pepetea:

pearlguitar-88

You just kill him i guess

snowyorange-96

Now whos that

snowyorange-96

WHY DO U SPEAK

swiftorchid-87

anime hater having anime pic as pfp....

mintcomet-42

It's like that scene from Avengers Endgame where Rhodes asks why we can't kill baby Thanos when we know the future. It's more of Nature v/s Nurture question because the murderer was born that way take most famous serial killer example but also their are serial killer where they were abused my childhood which led them to violence still doesn't excuse what they did though. So, if the murderer is the way they are because of their childhood then I would probably protect them.

gentleunicorn-93 OP
