    I think the birth of Hitler is an easy choice. But I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that eliminating some earlier event could both right another wrong and negate Hitler’s existence.

    Aside from that there’s the existence of the internet, which I’m not sure has been an overall benefit to humankind. I think about this often.

      Mao is probably a lot more impactful than Hitler - I’m just uncertain if it’d successfully abort the damage.
