Hey man, don't believe the hype.
There are ways to make a difference other than getting all apocalyptic!
P.S. I like Joe Sachs' translation of kata sumbebekos for Aristotle's
Physics: "incidental". As he says, "The word 'accidental' is appropriate to
some, but not all, incidental things. It is not accidental that the
housebuilder is a flute player, but it is incidental."
