Didnt we, though?

Presumably, he's using similar logic to what Wydrah used on this forum years ago to "proof" why time travel can't exist - ie, that if someone invents it in the future, they'd travel back to the past, and we'd be tripping over time travellers all the time and thus have proof that time travel WAS invented. But since that hasn't happened, clearly, time travel is never invented in our future.

Of course, in Wydrah's case, his argument was that if time travel is invented within our lifetimes, he would use it to travel backwards in time to rape his past self, and since that never happened, time travel does not exist. In spite of that logic failing on at least a few different levels.

Now I remember that book we had to read back in highschool. "A sound of thunder" I believe. I honestly don't remember much other than it was about using time travel to hunt dinosaurs and somehow the dude messed up the future.

aka, "The story that introduced the term "Butterfly Effect" to the pop culture consciousness.

Dear god, that sounds like something my manchild brain would write...

Sounds like that Simpsons episode

I weep for the educational standards of the youth of today.
