This is one of those comments that seems deep but when you spend 10 seconds thinking about it really isn't.

I live in the present, if I want to change who's in charge of a nation it takes years of effort. I can't just shortcut that with my magic time machine. Plus of course I have to live through the transition period so it's not just about skipping the time it's also about dealing with the consequences.

If I step on an ant it may very well radically old to the future, but if I have to wait the 10 million years to find out then I'm probably not going to be able to tell.
