I would not be concerned about the YOU paradox... after all, you are made up of atomic and sub-atomic particles that are not the same from moment to moment, and so the two "you"s are never identical... therefore there is no real paradox, absolutely no physical harm would be caused by their being two of "you" in one place at the same time, you won't touch each other and create an explosion or negate time or anything, because intrinsically speaking, you are two different things that only happen to look alike.
If anything, the laws of conservation of energy would be affected (you just stole energy from the future, and input extra energy into the past), but it would be so miniscule on the grand scale of things as to be unimportant... unless, of course, you inadvertently created a "time loop" that constantly fed energy from the future into the past, thereby causing an energy imbalance that would probably overwhelm and explode the space-time continuum at that point in the past...
But if you did that, there would be no future to send energy back from, so it obviously never happened, and never will...
(Hmph. Serious thread, indeed.)
