In response to "(spoils)" by Beryllium

Well, where's the rule that says that I can't alter my future?

If I saw myself taking a dump six months from now, why couldn't I change that? If I decide to put a bullet in my brain and die, that would change my flash forward, right?

The flash forward is a memory. I would imagine that people's memories are not rewriting themselves, so ... sure, you can change the future. - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:23 4
- But don't you think that of all the people on the planet, *one* person would have done something that would (spoilers?) - oblique Nov 3, 10:25 2
  - yes, that's what I'm saying. What everyone saw is now meaningless. Mere hints at what might come to pass. - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:39
  - One of the things I'm curious about is how they address the "can you change your future?" thing - celedhring Nov 3, 10:27
- Now that makes sort of sense, I guess -- nm - FabioParme Nov 3, 10:25
