What if i do something to day that'll radically change the future, but in a negative way?
Nope, not thaking that big of a risk. So I'm gonna continue what i already do. Nothing
But isn’t doing nothing just as impactful as doing something small? What if by going out and taking a walk, you bump in to someone, slowing them down by a few seconds. This leads to them narrowly avoiding getting hit by a car. Now they’re dead and it’s your fault, you monster!
But then this person, had the not been hit by a car, and died, would have set into motion the birth of space Hitler.
Damn you butterfly effect!
But it turns out space Hitler's name was an unfortunate coincidence and really he led humanity into an intergalactic intersectional utopia. Now you're still the monster for not taking a walk today!
It is the only safe thing to do! Unless you were meant to do something, and your inactivity changes the world forever...
And that by doing nothing, you force a negative change elsewhere. Shame that you could have done something and not had the negative effect.
