I think a major component of people not caring isn’t that they’re bad people or that they intentionally don’t care. I believe it’s a severe case of ignorance and ineptitude, which I don’t mean to be critical or disparaging. I think most people I meet actually don’t have the capacity to understand and reason about the scope of matters required in order to engage with problems in the world effectively.

The world is incredibly complex. Most people are smart, but not that smart. Or they are particularly intelligent in ways which simply don’t lend themselves to these bigger picture problems.

I rarely meet people who sincerely don’t care. I do meet people who don’t understand, though. Many have no idea what’s wrong.

As a result I believe you’ll find this in just about every place you go, and in most social circles you encounter. This isn’t an Egypt problem but a human problem.

I’m not claiming I understand, or I’m one of the people intelligent enough to see the problems and engage with them. If I was, my life would likely be different and I would be much more useful. So, this is entirely opinion and worth taking with some salt.
