Which is fucked up and does not count as consent imo.
How much of that is due to it not being a possibility in real life, though?
In real life you have a continuous line from past me to future me.
Future you still has to live with the memories and consequences of any decisions they take that affects past them. And if they screw up their past too badly they cease to exist (depending on which multiverse theory we’re going with). That’s a pretty direct line.
What happens to future-me is kinda irrelevant (and also depends on how time travel works). The past me is being affected by events they did not do or know about (through future me). The line doesn’t go backwards.
