But isn’t doing nothing just as impactful as doing something small? What if by going out and taking a walk, you bump in to someone, slowing them down by a few seconds. This leads to them narrowly avoiding getting hit by a car. Now they’re dead and it’s your fault, you monster!
But then this person, had the not been hit by a car, and died, would have set into motion the birth of space Hitler.
Damn you butterfly effect!
But it turns out space Hitler's name was an unfortunate coincidence and really he led humanity into an intergalactic intersectional utopia. Now you're still the monster for not taking a walk today!
