But how does that help? If I send past me a message, can past me change anything? What happens to the me that sent the message if past me receives it and changes stuff? Seems like you're creating a classic time travel paradox.
My opinion of you is definitely my problem, true. You did seem interested, based on the fact that you posted in a public place, but I suppose that was an error on my part. Good day, sir/ma'am (genderneutral).
The question mark at the end of a sentence usually denotes a question. What you said seems to me to imply that we don't have any non-totalitarian countries because I don't see any that have these things as end goals (outside of empty promises from politicians).
For that matter, I don't even know what an "end goal" for a country would be. That's what I was trying to get at originally. Countries don't have end goals, beyond "stay existent".
It's not supposed to burn trees.
