JAMES: I- I was playing with my truck? A-and it fell into a puddle and got muddy? Why do these things happen, Daddy? Why is the world full of misery?
ANTON: Think of it this way. In an infinite theoretical future, we've mastered time travel a million times over, right? That means than an infinite number of time travelers have already come back to fix everything that needed fixing. They've created the best possible universe for us! Anything bad that still happens must have been a compromise to prevent something even worse.
JAMES: But if humanity lasts long enough to master time travel, then wouldn't we be overrun with time travelers? Doesn't the fact that we're not mean that humanity is doomed?
ANTON: We ARE overrun with time travelers, sweetie pie. You just don't recognize them.
ANTON: All ants are actually humans from the future. Resource scarcity will not be kind to our evolution.
JAMES: This is just another trick to try and get me to worship ants
