Remind me never to ask you to navigate the possible futures for me. The
structure of the Universe is not determined by what we want to believe.
Why would there be safeguards - *any* safeguards - unless someone put
them there? I'm not sure even a protective God could pull it off; the
kind of ontology you're talking about strikes me as the sort of thing
that would be a theorem of the logic of the Universe long before God
could be proven into existence...
