I think Vonnegut and Ted Chiang really kind of nailed where the real conflicts regarding time/travel and premonition are. Given that you're going to have limited agency and power anyway, because few characters have godlike power, do you choose to fully commit to your actions and the consequences or live in a state of denial?

I'm increasingly skeptical of the whole "one person can change the course of history" conceit. That's sometimes true, but the protagonist has a one-in-a-million odds of becoming that person, and often that "one person" is part of a wider movement anyway. (To pick on Doctor Who, transportation protests were much more than Rosa Parks.)
