From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

time travel ^[3] : tie me unravel

time reversed : "You want to reverse tie-me."

^[1] Do they?

^[2] Are they? ^[4]

^[3] Also: if time travel was actually possible it could be considered among the most unethical things to do. That's why the protagonist of a science fiction novel will often participate without second thoughts.

^[4] As long as humanity maintains the precedent of using whatever reins are available to control other species and to take control of the economic resources of other countries (implicitness in capitalism), that precedent may reduce available options of individuals, without anyone noticing. ^[5]

^[5] Fair Trade is the precedent of not exploiting your possibilities to the maximum. If you consequently accept economic inefficiency, however, an efficient capitalist can easily produce cheaper than you. This is one reason why an ethical consumer card might be desirable.

[edit] Observations

• Time travel often leads to an established flow of history (as opposed to undesirable and therefore reverted history).
• People from the future see some decisions as irreversible (TINA), while people from the past see them as future decisions that have not yet been made and therefore can be changed.
• People from the future are often more tied up. (e.g. Crewman Daniels or USS Relativity) ^[1]
  • Metaphor: With more advanced technology (over time) you need more self-imposed restrictions (advanced ethics).

^[1] Some time travel stories turn this around or use different aspects of the metaphor.

[edit] References

• "Everything was better in the past" refers to "the wish to go back in time".
• "Should you take the time of somebody else away?" is a recurring question.

Time is ambiguous:

• Time may be referring to tie-me.
• Time may be referring to lifetime. (see also: sausage)

The answer may be different, depending on your current definition of time. This would be one of the more common logical puzzles in the YHVH language.

Killing is analog to time:

• Educating somebody to be an (ethically advanced) adult. (and thereby taking away tie-me).
• Killing a creature and thereby taking away its lifetime.

The ethical concept not to kill would therefore be associated with the two questions:

• "Shouldn't you be killing?"
• "Should you be killing [other species]?"

• Time Warner is a big concern.
• "To move with the times" refers to following trends / precedents.
