Note that sometimes people actually don’t care about things. Eg, some EAs don’t care about animal suffering or the far future.
Also, there’s the meaning of “I don’t care about global poverty” which is “Though obviously global poverty causes suffering, I think that alleviating global poverty would probably cause about as much suffering in expectation, and so I don’t care about how much global poverty there is on the margin at the moment.” (I don’t agree with this view but some EAs hold it.)
Great point.
