Re: Thought experiment: How far back would you go?
I will go back to august 2001 and provide the US authorities with the names of 19 terrorists planning to attack the world trade center, the Pentagon and the Congress.
But when they ask me how I knew about it, what should I say?

1990s. I would not go on a pony ride, no matter how much the family complained. That was where the pony stepped on my foot and gave me a messed up joint.

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.

I think we should do whatever Pawiz wants.

Re: Thought experiment: How far back would you go?
I'm tied to the last 6 years by my children, they've been the shittest 6 years of my life and everything I would change falls within that time, but I couldn't live without the little buggers, so... bollocks.
Men! They're all beasts!
Yeah. But isn't it wonderful?

I'd go to the 60s, before the west's naiveté was blown to bits.
How the good times would roll... also I'd get to go to Old Trafford and see Sir Bobby Charlton, Georgie Best and the rest kicking it about, at affordable prices. OOH, and I could seek out Bill Hicks!

1920's-1930's. Roll with Dillinger.

Re: Thought experiment: How far back would you go?
I would go back to December of 2009 and change the woman I decided to be with at that time. There were several women interested in me, there was no need to go with the one I had decided on, she was too complicated and I knew it. Yet I choose to go down that path hurting so much in the process. I would probably start getting involved with a nice woman named Caroline instead.
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. [...] I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman
