[QUOTE="Japrim, post: 135718, member: 7558"] This thread is about money as a motive to use time travel. It sparks some good food for thought in terms of motives and ethics.. Think like a time traveler. What do you need money for? If your mission or purpose is righteous in nature, other than a basic but comfortable life style/living expenses and whatever funding you need to facilitate your mission, you don't need money. Consider a hypothetical mission.... A family of good honest people suffers for a couple generations with a root cause being a father getting ripped off on a business deal. So your mission is to go back and offer another, much better deal at just the right time. You aren't doing anything malicious or violating anyone. You are simply working the local market and setting him up with a better deal that makes up for whatever losses he incurred, and then some. You may need a few hundred thousand dollars to pump into the local market, just enough to establish a turn-key type business. You are going to need whatever money to have a place to stay, groceries, clothes, transportation, etc. You may need a miscellaneous disposable income of some kind to facilitate the mission, maybe a vacation for the year or two you're there in that time period. So it is perceivable that you can make semi-regular trips to race tracks and other gambling venues, or use whatever 'honest' nonviolent means of manipulating time for money. Whatever to facilitate without complications of the normal 9-5. Beyond that, what else would you need money for? Once you go beyond that, you can easily get greedy and stupid with it, start trying to control things and seek power, stealing, etc. The greedier you get and the more you need to feed that monster, the greater impact you have, ...and since your purpose is no longer so righteous, it is a negative overall impact on the time line. At some point, the effects of you being there would be more of a detriment than a benefit, thus no longer justifying the mission, therefore it is important to understand the dangers of wielding such power as time travel when considering the selfish element of human nature. I don't think it is something that would be resolved with stringent rules per se', but rather self governance through understanding and ethical standard values that enable discernment. [/QUOTE]
