@zoe@diodelass maybe someday you will always have been going to be a time traveller, and it's just one of those interpretations where going back in time technically doesn't send you to the exact same past
@autistikai@zoe time is two-dimensional in most time-travel-involving fiction anyway. you have time the way it's normally seen, and then you have the time that time travelers are talking about when they say that the past used to be one way, but then was changed. stateful alteration to a system requires motion in a temporal dimension, which means the timeline itself must also experience time.
