I just read "Bones of the Earth" by Michael Swanwick

A bit of a spoiler for the story, but the reason the 'people' from the future came along and told about time travel was because it didn't matter for our civilization - it was due to be annihilated soon enough from other causes. Thus our tinkering with time travel would make no difference. :P
And you may call it righteousness
When civility survives,
But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.
