What are the philosopical implications if time travel into the actual pass is possible?

Like what effect would it have on the type of work people do
together? If time travel into the actual pass was possible would
anyone be able to get along with anyone else who is smart enoth to
realize what time travel into the actual past would mean.

People will probably keep doing the things people do till the wiring
in their heads is changed, connected to, or doped. Till then its just
another human episode with evolving gadgets.

A temporal paradox is an paradoxical situation in which a time
traveler interferes with the time line involved in his own existence.

The typical example is that of the grandfather paradox, wherein a time
traveler goes back in time and kills his grandfather before his father
is conceived. It is a paradox because if this occurs, he will never be
born, and therefore never be able to travel back in time to kill his
grandfather. This example is one type of causality loop.

And like ALL contradictions and paradox they dont exist anywhere but
inside the heads of fools.

Wouldn't you contradict yourself if you proposed that time travel was
and always will be impossible? How would you justify beliefs about
time travel either being true or false? But if time travel turned out
to be possible people would probably remain the same as long as they
don't add more nerves and lobes to their brains;

Contradictions and paradoxes exist nowhere but inside the minds of
fools, who ought stop wasting their fucking energy pretending
otherwise, they exist in ideas and in their ideas alone.

At best, contradictions / paradox exist as a faulty identification of
that which exists in reality without ontradiction. When faced with a
contradiction check your premsies.

Your question ought be asking yourself HOW
do you move faster or slower in something that
doesn't begin until you begin to move.

If you can travel in time, then you're saying you
exist in time, if you exist in time then so does the universe,
the universe DOESNT exist in time and neither do YOU.

The universe does NOT exist in time / duration,
time / duration exist in the universe.

If it exists in ideas and ideas alone then your idea of contradiction
may or may not be contradictory, since it is by your ideas -so
defined- which you seem to make the judgement.
