The problem with time travel

The problem with time travel is kids.

They see an iconic picture of something and want to go change it.

So they change it, even sometimes smiling at us in the future before returning.

Except they keep saying it's different

The problem with time travel I learned as the Last Traveler

is that if you change too much

^time ^travel ^never ^gets ^invented

No, the problem is, when too many people have access, it isn't that time travel doesn't get invented, its the greed of many stifles out the work of the inventor, because there is no more room in a society for inventors after glancing in the future untrained.

That's why we need an artificial intelligent superbeing to moderate innovation so that it happens

No, you will just enslave them for the next siri.

Just because it was never invented doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Nobody invented water, or reddit, or reproduction, so why does someone need to invent time travel?

So I fail to see how traveling through time would risk causing time travel to cease to exist. Changing the past so that their parents don't exist, however, is a bit of a problem for children that have parents.
