The idea that "time travel is confusing" is a dumb meme that for some reason "smart" people fail to realize how idiotic it is, most writers who write about time travel are morons, especially when they talk about causality, tis article is pretty ok though, I guess.
(theconversation.com)https://theconversation.com/time-travel-could-be-possible-but-only-with-parallel-timelines-178776https://time.com/6246864/reverse-aging-scientists-discover-milestone/They got it right that a paradox is an event that is logically impossible, not something which could actually occur - Meaning the very fact that you've gone back in time at all is an immediate ruling out of the possibility of time-travel paradoxes.
They got it right that the Nobikov Principle is retarded because it tries to resolve the problem of temporal causation being violated by time travel with the proposition that the more familiar laws of physics would need to be suspended in some way - Meaning that going back in time would necessarily imply the existence of at least more than one timeline.
They fail to understand the difference between parallel timelines and branching timelines. They covered branching timelines - where certain events cause a timeline to split into two or more branches, but they failed to cover timelines which are truly parallel - an infinite numbers of timelines that exist in complete form from the beginning of time to it's end, each with different configurations of events between those two points.
It seems that the concept of externalism and the idea that all possible worlds existed for as long as there were ever any worlds at all - That God didn't make everything once, he made everything in every which way, every precise event that could happen will happen, in at least one of the infinite numbers of realities and versions of our reality that exist.
