time travel


watching Clint Eastwood watching that porn show, between the president of the US, and the young wife of his elderly loyal friend, in front of him, in Absolute Power (1997), i find myself unable to stand it, go on watching, as he did; just came back from gloria outlet, talked with D about time travel on the way, my point is, the historian would be fascinated, but disappointed, after all, if he did do the time travel, he would find himself puzzled as before, despite with the benefit of hindsight, e.g. back to China 1949, he would still not know how and why the KMT lost China to CCP so badly; this explains what Milan Kundera tried to say, in the first page, in The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1984), only nothing less than eternal return can promise perfection, 關於歷史 你只有一次機會 一次不完美的機會 而不管你怎麼決定 都會有其後果 都要付出代價
