Great post. ๐
Reminds me of the meme that says when people time-travel to the past, they're always worried about making a tiny change that would alter their present, but people never seem to think about the fact that a tiny change in the present can alter their future.
I LOVE Pratchett. I just finished The Last Continent and am starting The Truth now. ๐๐
My favorite quote of his is from Making Money:
"'Good heavens, potatoes are worth more than gold!โ โSurely not!โ โIf you were shipwrecked on a desert island, what would you prefer, a bag of potatoes or a bag of gold?โ โYes, but a desert island isnโt Ankh-Morpork!โ โAnd that proves gold is only valuable because we agree it is, right? Itโs just a dream. But a potato is always worth a potato, anywhere. A knob of butter and a pinch of salt and youโve got a meal, anywhere. Bury gold in the ground and youโll be worrying about thieves for ever. Bury a potato and in due season you could be looking at a dividend of a thousand per cent.'"
