1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000 Part 4, John Teeter. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000 February 1st, 2001. 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Q. What horse won a famous race? 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:17,000 Unfortunately, winners of sports events in the past are not high on the priority list... 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,000 As a thought experiment, if I told you who the winning horse was and you killed it... 6 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:30,000 would that make me a liar or would it support my statement that our world lines are abou... 7 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Do you know who won that race 30 years ago? 8 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000 The people who signed my paycheck told me why we needed a 5100 and sent me off to get one. 9 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000 I was not in a position to make suggestions about the mission. 10 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000 As I recall, isn't the Cray a rather large system? 11 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000 We need something portable. 12 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000 The 5100 isn't required for its reliability. 13 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:03,000 It's needed to translate between APL, Unix, and a few obscure IBM mainframe languages. 14 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000 February 2nd, 2001. 15 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,000 Yes, I age and my hair and nails grow at normal rates. 16 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000 Please keep in mind that gravity distortion involves some dilation effects, 17 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,000 but jumping between world lines are time-like trips, not space-like trips. 18 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Unfortunately, I don't know if we are acquainted on my world line. 19 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000 Yes, love is a challenge. 20 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000 What's harder is knowing you can go back and correct a mistake, 21 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000 but at the cost of a U on that world line. 22 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000 The question about the President and space travel are reasonable, 23 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000 but now we come to a conflict between physics and ethics. 24 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000 First, the ethics. 25 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000 I have seen a television program about a man who was able to speak with the dead. 26 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,000 When I watch the show, I am more afraid about the possibility that what he is doing is... 27 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000 not whether or not he is doing it. 28 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000 Since I will be leaving this world line soon, 29 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,000 I could easily tell you that the President lives or dies in the next four years. 30 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000 In fact, I could probably find some way to even charge you for it. 31 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000 When the day comes for my prediction to be realized, it will either happen or not. 32 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000 If it does not, or rather, if it does happen, 33 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:40,000 then your ability to judge your environment is crippled by your acceptance of me as a... 34 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:47,000 If I am wrong, then everything I have said that might possibly have made you think ab... 35 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000 in a different way is suddenly discredited, and I do not want either. 36 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,000 Although I do have personal reasons for being here and speaking with you, 37 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,000 the most I could hope for is that you recognize the possibility of time travel a... 38 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,000 You are able to change your world line for better or worse, just as I am. 39 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000 Therefore, any prediction I might make has a slight chance of being incorrect anyway, 40 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,000 and you now have the ability to act on it based on what I have said. 41 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Can you stop the war before it gets here? Sure. Will you do it? Probably not. 42 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:39,000 As far as space travel goes, no. We are not on Mars yet, but we're trying very hard 43 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,000 so we can avoid another Hell's Kitchen outcome from an overpopulated Earth. 44 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Perhaps it would be better if you just consider me a fraud. I really don't have a... 45 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,000 If that were the case, could we then have discussions that you were comfortable with? 46 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:04,000 Q. If I knew something or someone was going to die and I could stop it, 47 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:12,000 I have a moral obligation to do something about it. Can you give me any examples whe... 48 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:19,000 I can think of a couple examples. If the Egyptians knew the Red Sea was going to dr... 49 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,000 do you think they would have pursued Moses? If you could go back in time to 1941 50 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:33,000 and tell the radar operators at Pearl Harbor to take a second look at the radar screen ... 51 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,000 Before you say yes and accept that parade in your honor down Main Street, 52 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:45,000 perhaps you should go forward in time and see if the U.S. still has the motivation to ma... 53 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000 I fail to understand why my words generate so much conflict. 54 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:56,000 I think it's far better for you to consider what I say as fantasy so there is no quest... 55 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:08,000 How is my credibility going to affect your life? I don't want you to believe me, and ... 56 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:16,000 I don't know any other way to tell you that I am aware of what happens in the next week,... 57 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,000 Just curious, that's a common question. Why do you think I would know something about... 58 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Yes, it's very possible that what I say would spin your future off into a different... 59 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,000 but since what I say is bogus, that shouldn't be a problem. 60 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:41,000 On a philosophical level, the existence of multiple worlds implies a moral balance to... 61 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:48,000 For every world line you perform a good action, there is a world line where you... 62 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:55,000 There are no good and bad people, just good and bad decisions. 63 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:02,000 We can only be responsible for what we do as individuals on the world line we are on now. 64 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:14,000 So take heart. Somewhere out there in a world line where I'm spilling all the beans on... 65 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,000 and you're all off to Vegas and Wall Street making millions of dollars. 66 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000 I do very much enjoy these conversations and I'm working on the other questions. 67 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:34,000 As far as the war goes, my best advice is to find at least five people within 100 miles... 68 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:43,000 No, I haven't met any other time travelers here and although from my perspective that... 69 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,000 No, I don't have any additional information concerning crop circles, ETs, or UFOs. 70 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:56,000 I find those subjects rather interesting myself and it's one of the reasons I was... 71 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,000 Q. Can you give us any personal stories of your past? 72 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:08,000 I was born in 1998, so I do share some childhood memories with all of you. 73 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:17,000 I remember going to a famous Central Florida vacation area at Christmas and I remember... 74 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:26,000 When the civil conflict started and got worse, people generally decided to either... 75 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,000 or leave the cities for more isolated and rural areas. 76 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:38,000 Our home was searched once and the neighbors across the street was arrested for some... 77 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000 That convinced my father to leave the city. 78 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:51,000 From the age of 8 to 12, we lived away from the cities and spent most of our time in a... 79 00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:02,000 By that time, it was pretty clear that we were not going back to what we had and the... 80 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:11,000 My father made a living by putting together 12-volt electrical systems and sailing... 81 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000 I spent most of my time helping him. 82 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:21,000 Out-right open fighting was common by then and I joined a shotgun infantry unit in 2011. 83 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,000 I served with the fighting diamondbacks for about 4 years. 84 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:36,000 The Civil War ended in 2015 when Russia attacked the US cities, our enemy, China a... 85 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:42,000 As unusual and bad as my childhood might seem, I wouldn't trade it for anything. 86 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:50,000 Africa is not a pleasant place to be in 2036, although I would characterize it as... 87 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,000 The music you enjoy now is quite popular and available. 88 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000 It's just not produced in anywhere near the same amount. 89 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000 There is a revival of local and classical music. 90 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000 Many people have learned to play their own. 91 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:12,000 I personally enjoy Big Band, some classical and interesting lyric pieces from the 1970... 92 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000 Q. What does time travel do to the religious? 93 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,000 If I exist on many timelines, which one is really me? 94 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000 This is an excellent question that causes a great deal of controversy. 95 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:34,000 Since every possible outcome, event and possibility is happening and will happen, 96 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,000 then all good and all evil balances out in the super-verse. 97 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,000 After the reality of multiple worlds sank into our collective thought, 98 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:51,000 the one basic change to all religious dogma is the concept that good and evil does not... 99 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:58,000 nor can it be used as a useful way to judge what God may think of our situation. 100 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Good and evil are personal experiences that can only guide what we do as individuals a... 101 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,000 This outlook also makes it impossible for me to judge any other person or event. 102 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000 We cannot see the entire universe as God sees it. 103 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:24,000 Therefore, we will never be gods or be capable of judging anything outside of... 104 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:30,000 My actions can only be judged as good and bad by me and my God. 105 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:37,000 There is also an area of thought that maintains all of the yous out there will m... 106 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000 that eventually returns to God. 107 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:46,000 In that manner, it is frustrating to know what you are capable of and acting on, 108 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000 all of the thoughts and ideas you have, regardless of what the you here is doing. 109 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,000 How good or evil do you think you can be? 110 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,000 There is even an idea, supported in physics apparently, 111 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:07,000 that there is some sort of communication going on between all of the yous that are ... 112 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:16,000 Some people think that memories, intuition, and consciousness are actually attempts by... 113 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,000 Yes, we still have football, and you will easily recognize it in 2036. 114 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,000 I am posting here because I enjoy talking with people without having to hide who I am. 115 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,000 It is safe. I can then gather historical information from you and the web. 116 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:41,000 Yes, I have superiors. However, from their perspective, I will only have been gone a... 117 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:49,000 The only real risk I am taking is spending too long outside my main line and risking ... 118 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000 Dying by accident, etc. 119 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,000 Based on the physics of gravity displacement, I can't leave wherever I want anyway, 120 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000 and I do have some leeway into how I conduct my mission. 121 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,000 It is impossible for me to change any world line that I am not on. 122 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,000 Nothing I do here will affect my home. 123 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,000 The 60-year flux is a limitation of my machine, not of physics. 124 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000 Jet planes can't fly into space. 125 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000 My machine is not reliable past a 60-plus year destination. 126 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:31,000 The computer is from 1975. Rochester, Minnesota. 127 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,000 Yes, the Pearl Harbor example related to Y2K. 128 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:42,000 Have you considered that I might already have accidentally screwed up your world line? 129 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:48,000 Q. I can think of a potential hazard of being a time traveler. 130 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,000 Always putting things off until you can get back to doing them. 131 00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:00,000 What's even worse is having the ability to go back and help the you there, and you won't... 132 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000 February 5, 2001. 133 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:09,000 Yes, there is a log, and my report and debriefing will agree with it. 134 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,000 I have no reason to lie about where I am and why I'm here. 135 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,000 There are no crimes against time. 136 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:26,000 However, if I were to go on a murder spree and I admitted it when I returned, then I... 137 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000 I am no more able to affect your world line than you are. 138 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:40,000 Yes, I could make the changes you suggested, but you must remember that there are an... 139 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:48,000 In fact, there's even a world line out there where you're the time traveler, and I'm th... 140 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,000 I think the war would be good for you and your society. 141 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000 I don't want to stop it. 142 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000 Nothing I do here will affect any other world line. 143 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,000 My original world line will always be the same. 144 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,000 And yes, I can make changes here that make this world line different from mine. 145 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000 But so can you. 146 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000 Yes, there are significant advances in computer science. 147 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:21,000 It's interesting how easy it is to be fixated on the machine itself without any curiosit... 148 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:29,000 This is not really big news, but if-then is out and if-then maybe is in. 149 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,000 Yes, I am with the me on this world line, and he is three now. 150 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,000 I find the fact to be rather hard for people to get along with, so I don't bring it up... 151 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000 This is the second time I have met myself. 152 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,000 The machine is owned by the military. 153 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,000 I am part of a unit stationed in Tampa, Florida. 154 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,000 The real energy is in creating the machine, not operating it. 155 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000 It's interesting you should bring up the divergence percentage. 156 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:08,000 You may find it interesting to know that the divergence can be more accurate with more... 157 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:16,000 The C206 uses six cesium clocks and an active method of timing that changes in the atom. 158 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000 February 6, 2001. 159 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,000 We time travel to solve problems. 160 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000 A great deal of effort is going into repairing the environment and infrastructure. 161 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000 I think there is only one God. 162 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:42,000 I also think that your soul may be a combination of all the collective thoughts... 163 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:49,000 If that is true, it becomes very difficult to define death until all world lines come to... 164 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000 Q. 165 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000 Who wins the sporting event for the next 20 years?

189 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000 Q. 190 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000 Can I go with you on your journey through time? 191 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000 Anybody else want to go? 192 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,000 I could probably manage three people with me. 193 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,000 However, I would have to dump a great deal of archival material to get you in. 194 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000 I'm not sure you would like 2036 very much. 195 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,000 Russia and China have always had a very strange relationship. 196 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:55,000 Even the news I see now indicates that continued weapons deals to allies, border... 197 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:01,000 The West will become very unstable, which gives China the confidence to expand. 198 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:10,000 I'm assuming you are all aware that China has millions of male soldiers right now, that... 199 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:20,000 The attack on Europe is in response to a unified European army that masses and move... 200 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:28,000 Also, please be aware that from my viewpoint, Russia attacked my enemy who was in the US... 201 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000 Yes, the US did counterattack. 202 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:42,000 Based on what I know about the 5100, it has a few very interesting and worthwhile... 203 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:47,000 Also, please keep in mind that civilization is recovering from a war. 204 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,000 Yes, we do have the technology, but many of the tools were lost. 205 00:18:53,000 --> 00:19:07,000 As you are probably aware, Unix will have a timeout error in 2038, and many of the... 206 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:20,000 The 5100 has the ability to easily translate between old IBM code, APL, basic, and with... 207 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:29,000 This may seem insignificant, but the fact that the 5100 is portable means I can easi... 208 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:35,000 I do expect they will create some sort of emulation system to use in multiple... 209 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:42,000 When I arrived, I approached my father, and I was easily able to prove to him who I was. 210 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000 I am currently with my parents and the me who is three. 211 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:52,000 They are very aware of what I am doing, why I am here, and when I will be leaving. 212 00:19:52,000 --> 00:20:01,000 It may interest you to know that my father still does not truly believe the machine... 213 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Yes, education is still taught in a classroom, but the entire focus and system... 214 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Don't worry, you won't miss it. 215 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,000 February 8, 2001. 216 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:22,000 I would characterize world politics as two boxers who have just gone multiple rounds ... 217 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,000 I am sure someone out there wants to kill us, but no one is really very organized yet. 218 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:37,000 There is a great deal of fear over rogue groups coming across unlaunched missile... 219 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000 Q.

All of you become much less interesting as sheep. 228 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000 I can't talk to you if you're not skeptical. 229 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:30,000 Two. Anything I say could be acted on beforehand and changed anyway. 230 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:37,000 Three. All the really interesting information is months or years away, and I'd be gone w... 231 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:46,000 Four. I find it morally wrong to assist someone with anything where they might gai... 232 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:53,000 Five. There's a slim chance your rule line is just different enough my prediction won't... 233 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,000 Six. I simply don't know. 234 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:06,000 Consider that you are a time traveler who goes back in time to the first week of... 235 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:12,000 What do you remember right now about the second week of February 1970? 236 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,000 Naturally, the conflict of Vietnam and the Middle East come up. 237 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,000 But as someone has already stated here, that's old news. 238 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:30,000 I suppose I could predict the failure of the Apollo 13 spacecraft, but since time trave... 239 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:40,000 I might even decide to tell you about an earthquake in Peru, but then people that... 240 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,000 All I can think of is to make something up. 241 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:50,000 So here it goes. The space shuttle mission may or may not have a problem connecting t... 242 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000 How is that? I enjoy the conversation and I will respond. 243 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:01,000 The pattern of exchange in the war will not be a surprise. 244 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,000 Many people will perish as a result of starvation and disease. 245 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,000 I would also submit that you already know if you are safe or not. 246 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,000 The trick is not to turn off your fear, but when you'll need it the most. 247 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Australia is sort of interesting in what is unknown. 248 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,000 After the war, they were not very cooperative or friendly. 249 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:31,000 It is known they did repulse a Chinese invasion and most of their cities were hit. 250 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:38,000 They have a trading relationship with the US, but I would characterize them as reclusive... 251 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,000 When people use phrases like, see what I mean? 252 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000 You're not hearing what I'm saying or something smells fishy. 253 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:52,000 They're indicating the primary sense they use to process information about a situation. 254 00:23:52,000 --> 00:24:01,000 I find it interesting that my credibility and the phrases that describe it hinge on... 255 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,000 I don't. I also don't know how to clarify my position any better. 256 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:13,000 So I would suggest that if what I say angers you, it might be best to just consider it... 257 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000 Soon you'll get bored and I will leave in a few months. 258 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000 Either way, it won't be an issue. 259 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:26,000 The enemy that was attacked by Russia in the US was the forces of the government you li... 260 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000 Q. I think you like to mislead people. 261 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,000 I do not see followers to mislead. 262 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000 I seek safety, animosity. 263 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,000 He may have met anonymity and good conversation. 264 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:47,000 To me, it would seem obvious that we both have a very different perspective on what'... 265 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,000 I would think that's what makes our interaction interesting. 266 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:59,000 Would I be any more believable if I told you I had just stopped a horrible event and yo... 267 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,000 Again, this is the second time it has come up and I am very curious. 268 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:12,000 Why would you expect a time traveler to know or care about what happens in Hollywood or... 269 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000 You seem to think I have tomorrow's paper in front of me. 270 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,000 Is that what time travel means to you? 271 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000 I never said I was a scientist. 272 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:28,000 If this is about economics somehow and you hope to buy my story, then what do I have ... 273 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,000 You already know that cars are dangerous and planes crash. 274 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,000 I'm very confident you are capable of killing yourself without my intervention. 275 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,000 Actually, my moral obligation has nothing to do with you. 276 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000 It's between me and God. 277 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000 Deception. 278 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,000 Exactly what standard do you use to measure the truth around you? 279 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,000 I have seen other threads with amazing and potentially real experiences on them. 280 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,000 Why am I more threatening? 281 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,000 I have no memory of meeting an older me as a three-year-old. 282 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,000 The events between world lines are isolated and nothing I do here will affect my world... 283 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:15,000 Yes, my parents are alive in 2036, but they have no experience with a time traveling m... 284 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:22,000 For all of you interested in coming back with me to 2036, perhaps we should discuss the... 285 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:28,000 Please be aware the displacement unit moves through time, not space. 286 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:34,000 First, we will be driving the current vehicle with the displacement unit in it to Tampa,... 287 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,000 From there, we will go back to my arrival date on this world line. 288 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:46,000 Then we will have to drive to Minnesota, sell the current vehicle, and get another one t... 289 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:54,000 We will then move the displacement unit, which is 500 pounds or so, into the new... 290 00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:02,000 Once in 1975, we'll drive back to Tampa and make the final hop to 2036. 291 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,000 If you'd like to stay in 1975, you're welcome to do that. 292 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:13,000 It can also get quite hot and stuffy during the trip, and you'll be subject to a 1.5 t... 293 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:18,000 You'll also need some sort of rebreather system or oxygen supply. 294 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:25,000 I have found that many misunderstandings and arguments are based on the differences in... 295 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:33,000 Two different cultures have had a drastic impact on the meaning of words like proof,... 296 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,000 My frustration is understanding the use of the words. 297 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,000 I am trying to follow the logic of all of the comments. 298 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:49,000 After reading the questions, I want to paint a picture that may help the general theme ... 299 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,000 The war has very profound effects on people and how they relate to each other. 300 00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:00,000 As individuals, almost everyone in 2036 is very familiar with death. 301 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,000 We all have stories of loved ones that have died from disease, war, or acts of... 302 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,000 Most of us have even taken part in dishing the same thing out to the other side. 303 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:21,000 As a result, we have become far more compassionate to the ones we love, but muc... 304 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:27,000 We are more accepting of other differences in our community because we depend on them to... 305 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:36,000 We also are more conservative with our resources and closer to God because for a... 306 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,000 The other major differences is the concept of good and evil. 307 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,000 With multiple worlds comes multiple decisions and outcomes. 308 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,000 For every good act, there is an equal impossible bad act on another world line. 309 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:59,000 Taken to the extreme, this must mean that in God's eyes, there is no total good and tot... 310 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,000 It balances itself out to infinity. 311 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:10,000 I believe we are judged on the decisions we make as individuals, and the good and evil... 312 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000 My reaction to it is what's important to God. 313 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:23,000 Although this may seem rather heartless, it does allow me to see past the evil that... 314 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,000 I am currently based in Tampa, Florida, in Hillsborough County. 315 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:32,000 Yes, I am free, but I have obligations as a citizen. 316 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:39,000 Everyone is required to have basic military training and provide a period of time for... 317 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:44,000 It is very much like a type of mandatory National Guard service plus the Peace Corps. 318 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,000 Yes, civil liberties are more important. 319 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,000 You will feel the same after having your house searched a couple of times. 320 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,000 We do not live in a racist society, but definitely a prejudiced one. 321 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,000 Our government looks very much like yours. 322 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000 It is a representative republic. 323 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:11,000 My definition of a patriot is anyone who defends the Constitution against all enemi... 324 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000 Religion has become far less centralized. 325 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:23,000 Extremes tend to bring you closer to God, so I would characterize religion and... 326 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,000 I do not know what happens when we die. 327 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,000 However, I don't think it will be easy. 328 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:37,000 There may be some very difficult decisions we have to make when we die that we are total... 329 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,000 It is difficult to define the most predominant religion. 330 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:50,000 Christianity has
