Do-over

[Citizen Bleys]

It's good! (snip synopsis)

I cannot confirm nor deny that I have travelled through time.

Or it might be that I watched too much Being Erica.

Well, it sounds well timed since I've a current interest in the basic idea.

What it does not sound like is anything even remotely similar to Better Off Ted. Up yours, Netflix. Again. This is like the time I was searching for Shakespeare and it suggested Rocky and freaking Bullwinkle.

As opposed to not drowning; already did that, you see.

You're a very strange man

everybody knows the uncertainty principle applies to the quantum level.

Everybody? I think you have an artificially high estimate of how smart the majority of people are. I remind you, I've spoken with a woman who declaimed, "My cell phone doesn't even work, I have to dial all of the numbers and press send!"

Quantum doesn't just mean "very small"; it can impact anything with any degree of randomness, and there's nothing as random as a human being

Already experienced that part of life once though, so may as well do it a different way. And getting caught punching people lands you in prison.

Different != better. The difference between now and an alternate now, assuming a neutral shift, is that in the alternate now, you know viscerally what you're missing. You'd wind up dwelling on what was good about the way you were living before you went back and changed it, and have less appreciation of what was better after. That's human nature.
