Remember the post I made about a time machine and Hitler and the Evil Baby Orphanage? Well I just watched another really old VlogBrothers video I'd never seen before and I'm not sure if I correctly interpreted what John Green said exactly, but this is what I got from it:
Imagine that I've been back in time and taken baby Hitler and brought him back to the 21st century, but then someone stole my time machine and used it to go back to moments before I took baby Hitler, shot me, and then left baby Hitler to grow up and become the adult Hitler that we know to have existed. Not only is there at this point a Schroedinger's cat paradox by my being simultaneously alive and dead, but Hitler now exists in the past, but also here, right now in the 21st century. Two Hitlers!!! So, obviously I would notice that there was baby Hitler in front of me and still the Hitler of the past caising havock in the 20th century, and kill the baby Hitler of the 21st century, making the whole of these two posts pointless, because it's all just one huge paradox.
I love being confusing.
