    Okay yes but there’s also a bit of dissonance, if I learned that Vlad the impaler had a time travel party to prove it and I had the capability to do so, I wouldn’t give a shit, would go see him and also take a gun just to keep myself safe. Safe. But it’s somebody from hundreds of years ago, why do I care about any of that?

    Sure. This statement seems harsh but I’m playing devil’s advocate here, the further you get away from the situation, the less it really matters

      I’d argue it’s the other way around: The further you travel in the past the bigger becomes your impact on current times.
