... as soon as you activate the machine, a message written on paper reads, "Please, you MUST destroy the machine." If you destroy the machine, years of your hard work and money will be lost. What would you do? Also, would it influence your decision if the message came to you in YOUR handwriting?

Yes, this topic is pointless.

the reason why to destroy wasn't given, and there's nothing to say when to destroy

Not gonna listen without proper reason. If they had time to write a note, they had time to give a 1 sentence explanation. If they couldn't bother with that, then I have no reason to think their suggestion has any merit.

Pretty much. If I don't know the consequences, I can't make an informed decision... although, I guess, future me must have thought things pretty severe.

And I can't read my own handwriting half the time, so same boat maybe.

Well if I destroyed the machine then I wouldn't have apparently wrote the note so no.

Depends on which theory of time travel the machine operates under.

No explanation as to why? Pfft. Ignore it and go about my merry way doing all sorts of totally immoral time travel shenanigans.

Assume my alternate self is being held at gunpoint and ignore it because I would give a better reason than that. Like, "the time machine will kill X" or "wars will be fought over this machine unless you destroy it now."

I certainly wouldn't use it but I wouldn't destroy it, either.

True. Time travel is a slippery slope. I always think of The Butterfly Effect film when I think of time travel. I think that's relevant to this question too in the sense that making a change now to create a better future(after you've apparently been informed the future seems bleak) won't necessarily guarantee a better one. .
