A theoretical problem in which a person is a time traveler and has traveled back to the infantile stage of something horrible happening (e.g. traveling back to when a dictator was a baby) and can choose to either put a complete stop to it (killing the baby) or try to turn it into something good instead (raising the baby to not be a terrible person).
Person 1: "What would you do if you could go back in time to when Hitler was a baby?"
Person 2: "Ah yes, the good ol' baby dictator conundrum."
Person 2: "Ah yes, the good ol' baby dictator conundrum."
