   Hmm. What if technological progress as a whole is inherently limited by the probability of time-machine construction? Like, what if the reason we don’t already have practical zero-emission fusion power and antigravity and such forth is because that technological arc would be co-current with the development of time travel?

   “Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability.

Happiness is never grand.” —Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

    “It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was us, what did that make Me?

It’s Them that do the bad things.”― Terry Pratchett, Jingo
