“As examples of the benefits of historicocamouflage, my research shows that the Plague of Megiddo and the Antonine Plague are both collateral damage from missed attempts at retroassassination of respectively the founders of Judaism and Christianity.” #BonusPanel
@Unixbigot Did you ever read Orson Scott Card's (I know) novel, "The Redemption of Christopher Columbus"?
Multiple timelines manipulated him to change history.
@nazgul no, the only Card I’ve read is That One
@Unixbigot @nazgul Of course the classic "Lest Darkness Fall"
@nazgul @Unixbigot
Stanisław Lem did that long before, in "The Twentieth Voyage" of "The Star Diaries" (1954).
@Unixbigot Hmm, I wonder who they got at Tall el-Hammam? https://east.ecu.edu/2022/02/07/could-sodom-have-been-destroyed-by-meteor/
@neoluddite history is littered with the wreckage of metaconsciousnesses with poor opsec.
