What say... if time is a current process, and 'going back in time' is only part of the ongoing passage of time. That is to say, you happened, and your ability to time travel happened, and new things will come of what you do in this time.
That is to say: time is only a linear function in the loose sense of causation. Output for a state 50 years ago is not the same as output for a different state 50 years ago.
WHAT THIS MEANS: even though you CAN prevent you from ever being born in this new timeline: YOU still live on in this time. Theoretically, you could go back in time 15 seconds and kill "yourself" (the other 'you'), and you wouldn't be impacted in the slightest.
Oh, look at that... I just solved one of the greatest paradoxes that ever was. Someone stop me before I do something else.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
