I had a strange dream last night and I thought I'd share:
I was in a living room with a bearded burly guy. I seemed to know him in the dream but upon waking, I realized I don't. He handed me a beer with no label. Stupid as it sounds, he asked me, "If you could go back in time and kill Hitler...would you?"
I answered, "I guess. But, I'm pretty old and in terrible physical condition. I doubt I could. It might be a better question for someone younger and could speak German."
He laughed and said, "Isn't about killing Hitler. But why would you kill him?"
"Because he was evil."
"Correct answer. Let's move on. You follow Q to some extent, right?"
"Some. I have read the posts and keep waiting like everyone else."
"Exactly. Most people are 'watching the movie' so to speak. Waiting for the happy ending. So you are the audience, right?"
"I guess."
"You have heard Musk say that we are living in a computer simulation being played out far in the future? That none of this is real, right?"
"Yeah."
"What is a played computer simulation?"
"A video game."
"Sometimes multiple players and sometimes 2 players, right?"
"Yeah."
"Let's say 2 players named GOOD & EVIL."
"So is this a God and Satan thing?"
"I don't know. You ever play a video game where you encounter a wizard in a cave? Or some checkpost left to give you needed info?"
"I know the concept from games my son's have played."
"I'm kinda like that. An AI with limited info."
"So, you aren't real."
"Are you?"
Dreams are funny. I didn't answer, but I got his point.
He went on..."Back to killing Hitler because he was evil...try to answer this - what would EVIL do if they could change the past? Let's not talk of time, it isn't real either - WHAT WOULD EVIL DO TO CHANGE THE GAME?" He actually screamed that in my face."
"I guess eliminate characters that were good and who mattered to a positive ending of the game?"
"So, if EVIL did that, would you agree that many methods would be used?"
"Yeah."
"You are going to wake up soon. I want you to remember this last bit: The World Trade Center, abortion, disease, war, accidents, school shootings and many more including the trans movement change key points in the game as some important ideas never happen."
I woke up and decided to share...
I would not kill Hitler prematurely, because no one can be convicted of crimes they haven’t committed. Even if you had “special insight” from the future. That is like advocating for red flag laws. Hard pass. Instead. I’d desire to make it harder for Germany to fall into the trap of getting a Hitler. Also as we probably all agree here, he was a pawn (though I’m sure he didn’t thinks so of himself). If not him, there would be someone else. Man is naturally evil. There’s a plethora of evil around. This is why our founding fathers wrote of men were angels, there would be no need for government, if men were ruled by angels, etc. but men are ruled by men, we must put every road block in front of the path of power for those in power because they are inherently evil.
I wonder what would have happened if someone went back in time and told Hitler not to invade Russia in the middle of winter?
