Idiocracy: Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Terry Crews
Back To The Future: Christopher Lloyd, Michael J. Fox
I’m sure more actors could join this effort as well. Even though they were only actors, they got to study the theories of time travel and how events of one time affect future events.
I’m half serious here, if anyone can reach out to these former actors in the context of time travel, please toss them the idea of reaching out to the current world leaders (and even citizens), to point out how they’re fucking everything up in a hurry, and more importantly how to start trying to resolve the problems…

Eh? What makes you think that?
Also how did you miss the many Doctor Who actors?
Maybe because I never watched Doctor Who…
Oh boy. You should watch the 2005 to now run because this kinda happens in some episodes and the leaders in charge never listen.
Strangely enough, as much as I’d like to watch that, I also feel I’d be wasting my time going back 20 years to watch TV and movies and stuff.
These days, especially here and now, I tend to live in the present. But understanding the theories of time travel in general, I figure the actors in these sort of films probably have a potential to collectively have the loudest voices to tell the current world leaders…
“Hey, you’re all fucking us up!”
This is an insane take. Doctor who has plenty of deep messges that withstand any time period. Its one of the best shows ever made imo and can compete with any modern tv show easily. Only ever consiming media that is made in the current year is like a totally unhinged idea, and completely ignores an entire history of media being built and iterated upon by what came before. Your post also literally references a movie made in 2006. Would you tell someone today that that movie isnt worth watching because it isnt brand new?
Edit: fuck back to the future is even older. I couldnt remember the other movie you mentioned but didnt want to have to go back and check. Literally just an incomprehensibly hypocritical philosophy.
I don’t have extra money to piss for television channels just to watch shows made in the past. If I did, I’d spend the rest of my future watching all the other shows everyone else has recommended to me.
If anything, I’m more worried about studying the weather and trying to fix a misfiring cylinder in our vehicle, whenever I can both get the proper parts and have a good weather day.
Because I don’t live my entire life in front of a television, sometimes I actually get off my ass and do stuff.
I dont even know what you mean by paying for television cha s, unless you weirdly still watch cable, but even then, waiting for reruns of a show to come on is still wildly unhinged and likely to drive you insane. Maybe try a torrent or finding a streaming site where you can watch the entire show and literally every other show start to finish right in your browser? Or keep being some weird blend of elitist and nostalgia whore, extolling the virtues of 40 year old movies but refusing to acknowledge that a tv show made in a similar time period might also have value. Good luck with your car and the weather.
I don’t watch reruns, my elderly roommate does. I keep up with YouTube and scientific related posts, still trying to keep my mind somewhat fresh in the modern day.
Why do you think everyone needs television service at all? My roommate gets his free antenna television, he’s happy. IDGAF about the TV, I get more updated information online. I don’t even want a TV anymore, fuck I wish he’d turn it off so I could sleep.
Also, what makes me think that? Because the actors literally got to read and study the scripts of theories of time travel.
To me, even that seems more experience than many of these world leaders living in the present, with no fucks to give about the future.
But they are scripts written by script writers not by people who know science.
Leaders do have a care about the future, it is just a difference care then you have.
Have you watched the Terminator? Do you realize with current realtime robotics plus AI technologies that are already programmed to destroy targets without any human decisions, that we’re already living in that age right now?
Imagine a drone flies over your house and drops a bomb, because AI thinks you’re a threat, without any humans even sending the command…
Yes, we’re already there. They need to turn all that shit off!
Make a documentary about time travel. Start by describing the different approaches used in various popular movies and TV series (always using Primer or Tenet as a punchline about an approach nobody understands) but gradually have the focus shifting towards the consequences of time travel, and then progressing towards the realization that actions have consequences even without time travel.
All while keeping with your premise of using the stars of time travel movies as the main talking heads in that documentary, instead of using scientists (though by all means use scientists as consultants throughout!)
