If everybody truly "didn't give a fuck", because it "doesn't matter, on a cosmic scale", then it would be a veritable Hell on Earth.

It is BECAUSE people care about these kinds of things enough to talk about them (even though talking about it 'doesn't matter') that there is a sense of balance.

One person's forum activity doesn't change the world. Ideologies change the world, and conversation is the conduit for ideology.
Earth is unimaginably small. Do you think if noone cares and the world ends up supernuked, the whole universe is just going to say "Wait, wait, wait, thats not fair". No, it will continue until its end and if there is no end, it will continue until infinity. And if the world doesn't get nuked what then? we live on until the sun dies out? If we discover (When we discover) a faster means of travel, what then? Inhabit new planets lightyears away? And then? The inevitable destruction of the universe. Because if the universe doesn't end on its own, the expansion of civilisation will. (Considerring Humans as an example of sentient beings.) Sentient beings have a serious problem where they cannot consistently think rationally.

It is peoples sense of justice that will destroy things actually. Accidents happen and when they happen, someone usually ends up unhappy, and with an outlook of everything should be fair, that person will want to get even. I don't think I need to explain that, if this person does "get even". The other person will feel wronged as there action was accidental. And then it continues.

^ Seriously flawed? Yes. I however don't give a damn because it doesn't matter anyway
