  • What if your reasoning is just post-hoc justification

    Relax, part of it is :)

    The brain is able to do many different kinds of thinking. Reasoning is one of them. Dreaming is another, etc.

    When you are thinking logically, then it is reproducible, and it is understandable and verifiable by other people.

    When you do scientific research, such verfification by others is even required, before your results are considered meaningful and true.

  • Now what happens?

    The disfigured mouse must come from "somewhere", or rather from sometime.

    The logical explanation is: later he has developed his button further, for a longer time jump (and maybe for some other improvement that gave him better confidence) and then he tried it "again".

  • But in a story, there is no "true" timeline, or a more "real" timeline.

    That would be the most boring story ever.

    It becomes interesting at that point where one (or some) of the possibilities get a special meaning "above" all the others.

  • I can’t help but wonder if people around me would think it crossed a boundary.

    More details please: How many people have been around when you did that?

    (You don't need to tell the others)

  • Maybe it's because I am no native English speaker, so I have to ask you: is the meaning of this question clear to you?

    “Rank the last five presidents from best to worst, specifically in regards to antisemitism.”

    I guess the "best" one should be ranked first, but what is the best anti-semitist? The strongest or the weakest of them?

  • It is no paradoxon.

    Only your story is a bit unclear at the point where it matters. Let me ask a question to clarify = to destroy what appears a paradoxon, but isn't.

    Question:
    Who controls the transmission of the information - the past self or the future self?

    If the past self controls the transmission, then he receives no information. Case closed. It does not matter what the future self is doing.

    If the future self controls the transmission, then he knows when the past self turns off the device. He can send it just a minute further into the past, before the past self turns off the device, and so the past self receives it "in time".

    How can this possibly make sense?

    No. Your expectation is wrong. You cannot expect him to make any sense.

    Such people do not get paid for making sense, but for creating lies. Dreamy, foggy, false images to distract you, to make you forget about asking for the truth.

  • Yes, and I have understood it in the same way.

    On the poor end:
    Would you sponsor all these trainings and certificates for everybody who can't afford them?

    On the rich end:
    Don't you think that as a rich person you could delegate most of the hassle to somebody you pay? (not saying to buy false certificates, but even that is thinkable)
