"It's uncool to care about things" is, fortunately, not a compelling argument for people who care about things.

This tangent does not seem likely to go anywhere productive.

You can care about things, but it seems preferable to care about that which you can change

That’s a reductionist and wrong reading of the argument I made.

[JoshTriplett]

You said "can’t change". I observed that deciding you can't change something is self-fulfilling. Your argument from that point still relied on the assumption that you can't change it.

Before you decide not to care about something, you are supposed to make a deep assessment to see whether you can change it. It is only after you’ve determined that the thing can’t be changed that you can choose not to care about it.
