    At first I thought you meant that killing hitler would effectively kill everyone born after hitler since the conditions of their birth didn’t exist anymore.

    But you’re going for a variation of the “let’s make hitler’s art career take off” plan, fair enough



  • The law feels like programming, if you follow the rules you can do whatever, but it’s more like an rpg with a game master. The moment you start bending the rules like a pretzel to start screwing people over, the humans running things will step in to stop you. That’s probably for the best, we don’t want to live in a world where “technically” always wins the day.



  • It was pro military propaganda the same way Star Trek was pro communist propaganda.

    It showed the military actually being the good guys, mostly, taking account of their mistakes, mostly. Working with others and being a positive force both for their country and for everyone else, mostly.

    That is a very idealised US military that bares little resemblance to the real one, and it was great propaganda for the ideal that doesn’t exist, much like Star Trek.
