So, another take on killing Hitler
Jun. 2nd, 2012 11:33 pmEnjoy!
I'm not sure killing Hitler would be all that catastrophic, though I suspect it'd be ultimately ineffective. Like I said back on the XKCD feed page, the only way to stop all the various genocides is to go back far enough to start from scratch and get it right this time, hopefully without any messy time loops. I hate time loops. They confuse the narrative terribly.
(Would altering history so dramatically that all the genocided people and genocidal people never existed in the first place in and of itself constitute some sort of mega-genocide? And will it all even out if we at least manage to save some mammoths in the process?)
