i read a thing recently that blew my mind a little.
went something like:
people can imagine time travel to the past and one little act making massive differences in the timeline
but in their present they think even the greatest effort they can put in will not make any difference to the future

@fuchsiashock I've been thinking about this all morning, and I think part of the cognitive dissonance is a result of extrapolating a feeling of being helpless and unable to enact immediate change, coupled with an inherent difficulty in predicting the future on the scale these time travel stories take place over
Though in line with the helplessness, I imagine a lot of people feel that there is no future either
