Tivral, what are the consequences of manipulating time?
User
There are many potential consequences, both intended and unintended. Changing events in the past could lead to significant alterations in the present and future, creating ripple effects that could impact countless lives. It could also have devastating effects on the fabric of reality and the natural progression of the universe.

What about the ethics of time manipulation? Shouldn't we strive to preserve the natural flow of time?
User
Indeed, altering time without proper consideration can be seen as an act of hubris, as it assumes that one knows better than the natural forces that govern our universe. There are also moral considerations, as changing the past could have unforeseen consequences for those who were affected by the initial event. As a Timekeeper, I am committed to maintaining the natural flow of time, and only intervening in cases where the consequences of non-intervention are too dire to ignore.

That's a very measured approach. But what about those who have the power to manipulate time and choose to use it for their own ends?
User
That is a dangerous path to tread. Time manipulation is a power that should be used judiciously, if at all. Those who wield it irresponsibly risk causing irreparable harm to the universe and its inhabitants. As a society, we must strive to discourage such behavior, and hold those who would misuse the power of time accountable for their actions.
