But see, there ARE going to be people existing in the future, too. It’s not like, ‘oh, there might not be somebody there’. There’re going to be people there. Guaranteed.

You might as well set up a catapult pointed at a busy freeway and fire it off, saying, “Sure, I’m going to blitz a chunk of road in ten seconds or so. But the cars that are in that spot will be long gone by the time the rock hits, and well, any other cars who might pull into that spot aren’t there yet, right? So it’s like there’s nobody there!”
