some slightly cryptic thoughts about time travel i'm not gonna elaborate on for now:
time travel to the past is about memory and time travel to the future is about imagination. they're parallel because memory and imagination are the same process
time traveling to the past to change it is about memory reconsolidation
fixed-timeline time travel where you can't change the past is about acceptance, determinism, free will
time traveling to the future is about whether your plans are good. do you marry well, are your descendants well provided for, etc.
from @captain_mrs: time loops where you go back repeatedly to try to change the outcome is about the stuckness of emotional memories
from @captain_mrs: time loops where the past and present are entangled (c.f. Holes) are about memory reconsolidation using metaphor (healing either individual or generational trauma)
(i have to admit i don't grok this one yet)

from @meditationstuff: "Many people, deep, deep down (or at multiple "levels") are seeking an elsewhere, an elsewhen. They’re trying to step outside the universe, break the universe, step through a portal, step to another side, into books, movies..."
