The 1986 Paradox

In 2010, a film called Hot Tub Time Machine sent a group of idiots back to 1986.

Coincidentally, that’s the year I was born.

Forty years later, I’m sitting in my own hot tub, discussing consciousness, souls, memories and the nature of existence with artificial intelligence.

I’m beginning to wonder if there’s a connection.

Perhaps the hot tub isn’t a time machine at all. Perhaps it’s a thinking machine.

After all, what is time without memory? If our memories make us who we are, are we all carrying little time machines around inside our heads?

Or perhaps I’ve just been sitting in the bloody water too long.

Questions whether the past even exists outside our memories.
