User blog:Brick425/Association Between Subject Matter and Significance

A lot of people use, "This is a wiki about a message board for a kids' toy" as a reason for why little to nothing we do here, as far as votes and elections go, matters. While I think this argument is understandable, I don't think it's a good argument for why we shouldn't care too much about votes or stuff like that.
 * 1) It gets an opinion (Nothing here matters) from another opinion (The wiki's subject is insignificant), instead of from fact or previous experience. I'm not saying you can't get opinions for opinions, but jumping to the conclusion of the latter is, like I said, jumping to a conclusion.
 * 2) Its logic is flawed when applies to other situations. You can make up any situation with the "X is a solution to Y, but X won't help in the long run because Y is not significant when compared to Z." This means that by that formula, you could basically make any idea or innovation look useless or ineffective.
 * 3) Everyone in the US is affected by the presidential election. However, because the universe is so vast, it won't really have an effect on that, and thus it is more or less just a waste of time.
 * 4) Scientists have found a cure to chicken pox. However, since most people don't get chicken pox anymore, it'd be a waste of money and resources to ship it out to everyone.
 * 5) People enjoy being here, and want to have the best experience possible. This one is painfully obvious. If you're willing to throw out this argument, I'm assuming you don't really care about enjoying the ride. I'm not gonna call out any names but to the person who asked why we always had to be so serious, it's for that reason.
