Infinity and moral paralysis

"Look at that night sky!" 


"Fantastic."
"It makes me feel small and insignificant.
" How does it make you feel when you look up at that?"
"Makes me think of  our Human history, with all its earnest striving laboring frantically on ephemera."
"Why ephemera, I dont think what I do in life is ephemera, I can still do 'good' in my life."
"Take another look at the sky. Now let us say there are a hundred thousand other planets, maybe a billion but the number is finite."
"What are you going on about?"
 "If the cosmos is finite, then your own comparative smallness does not necessarily undermine the idea that our conduct matters, ie if you do good in this world it matters." "I should hope so. But what are you getting at? Come on, out with it."
"Well, most cosmologists now believe that the Universe or the Multiverse is infinite."
"Yeah, yeah, so?"
"Well, the thing is you can't add to an infinity or substract come to that. So the good or the bad act in the face of an infinity is pretty meaningless."
"I think that is absolute bollocks."
"Well, if you feel that...there is help at hand."
"I don't need any advice from you."
"I will give it anyway; read Camus, he thought our purpose here was meaningless, but it was this
very meaningless, which gave his life meaning."
