Perhaps what drifter is doing is a thought experiment through the abstract realm of their mind in order to utilize "empathy" as an effective tool to
determine what reasons if any would justify time travel.
So long as drifter does not get to lost in that paradigm of thought, drifter should be alright.
But, in order to understand the way a timewalker would think, one should try to think like a timewalker.
It is a method, exercising one's own speculation and imagination to fill in the blanks and go from the known to the unknown.
I just think what some people think of as blanks, may have already been long since filled, if viewed from a certain angle.
True or not, i say perhaps it couldn't hurt to follow along and for a moment try to think how a timetraveller would think. Just do it from a
perspective that is not compliant with the instinct of self preservation. I don't think those who operate under that instinct are permitted to
traverse time, let alone alter it.
All things being equal, a good time traveller would not alter time unless for the sake of something far greater than it's self, and even then they
may have to answer for it.
A timetraveller who is the living manifestation of selfishness may not be able to comprehend that their very dna is what makes it possible to
consciously traverse time ..... so long as there is a "volenteer" at the other end, a willing participant.
But, this may all be merely conjecture and speculation. But, it does not mean it is negative if viewed from the right perspective.
