But we're not talking about 200 million people. We're talking about me. If I were working on inventing some power source that makes power out of air, then my contribution can affect those 200mil, and that's different.
It's like voting. I don't vote because my vote doesn't matter. No election would have EVER been changed if I voted in every single one. There will always be people who will vote and people who won't... me not voting doesn't affect anyone else.
