      people regularly obsess about that 1 little thing they did/didn’t do years ago and how it dramatically changed their life for the worse, whilst also fantasizing about how they could dramatically change some big/grand part of the present by making one change in the past, all at the same time as convincing themselves they’re incapable of changing the future.

      humans are silly creatures

        Yeah if you go back in time 10,000 years and step on an ant, you might dramatically alter the future so we’d be up to WW6 by now and its pronounced “al-yoo-min-ee-um” everywhere on the planet.

        Stepping on that ant today though? Pfft. Just an ant. Fuck it.
