"The reason why we'd like to imagine a world without 9/11 was to think of a world that would've been better because those towers never fell. It's cathartic to believe if we'd prevented 9/11, the issues we face now wouldn't have happened....It's sadder. Istead of our world being a exception because of a dramatic terrorist attack, our world really is something that was going to happen anyway. In this timeline, we just get a decade more of peace",
So aside from being as depressing as all hell, this video by Cody makes me wonder if the absence of 9/11 would've really changed anything in our world, if the events that we recognize as being spawned by 9/11 were just going to happen anyway.
Aside from the détente that we get from there being no War on Terror, is there anything significant that the absence of 9/11 would've changed?
