I don’t know. I’ve been digging into dense scientific work on the subject of consciousness. From what I’ve seen, free will as a concept is pretty much an illusion we evolved to feel.
Smarter every day recently had a talk with NASA engineers where he said something that resonated with me.
“Its often discussed that if you could go back in time, you could change one thing, and observe a huge change in the following events.
But we never consider that we have that same power right now, today. Actions now can influence a wide variety of future outcomes.”
With some self reflection you can be the time traveler of scifi.
Some things are out of our control, but many are not, and simple changes, say, about our personal wellness or how we treat others can have big ramifications.

Turns out, you can’t fix stupid and true to the club, she broke my heart twice.
