Special

If you could travel back in time and kill Hitler as an infant, would you?

I've been asked that question before, and my answer is always "It wouldn't matter."

The question presupposes that Hitler was a remarkable, irreplaceable human being, and I don't think that's accurate. I think he was an idiot.

And in an alternate time-line, where infant Adolf is murdered in his crib, I believe the same societal forces that forced that idiot to the front would just force some other idiot to the front.

He wasn't that special.
