People care about things not because of some intrinsic value, but because of our relationship to them.
We love our pets, and don’t really care about food animals. We are upset when a friend is in an accident, but not about people who died 500 years ago. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It honestly irks the fuck out of me that people care so much (or pretend to care as some form of cultural pantomime?).
Turning science into a team sport. What could possibly go wrong.
