On the topic of "nothing really matters", my read on it is that nothing we do will prevent the heat death of the universe. At some point all possibilities will start to collapse into one final outcome.

My drive to "do good" stems from my desire to give everyone their best shot at pursuing their own happiness. But I don't really believe there is some ultimate goal for humanity like some video game.
