Cosmic Indifference, closely related to  the concept of Cosmicism, is a literary  

and philosophical idea most prominently associated  with the work of American writer H.P. Lovecraft.

This concept posits that the  universe is vast, ancient,  

and indifferent to the existence of humanity.  It suggests that human achievements, struggles,  

and emotions are ultimately meaningless when  viewed against the backdrop of the cosmos.

Lovecraft's stories often feature cosmic  entities that exist beyond human comprehension,  

neither good nor evil, existing in a  realm of indifference towards humanity.

This makes human endeavors seem trivial and  

insignificant in the grand  scheme of the universe​​​​.

Cosmicism has influenced not only literature  but also modern pop culture and philosophy,  

evolving beyond Lovecraft's original works.

It is recognized as an influential  movement, impacting authors, filmmakers,  

and game developers who continue to  explore themes of cosmic indifference
