I see it as an antidote to the sort of mentally unhealthy information that society (such as TV, social media etc.) gives people. Stoicism makes people realise that they aren't the centre of the universe, that almost all people don't care what you are doing - even if sounds like they do, to take personal responsibility for your life, not to act like a victim etc. Basically be someone that people truly respect.

This is worth giving a second thought.

It's practically (literally?) instinctual to feel like the universe is happening to you rather than with you.

It's true. Alan Watts isn't necessarily the best, but I always like his (paraphrased) quote "Like the water waves and flowers bloom, the Universe peoples."

The important thing to remember is that this caring is anomalous. I personally find Space Does Not Care to be quite liberating.
