What the universe cares about

The universe doesn't care about anything normal people consider, but it does care about extraordinarily minute details... like where an electron should be in the next femtosecond based on everything going on around it. Ironically, by keeping track of only those details, it has constructed machines (humans and maybe others) that *do* perceive a much more global view. The universe perceives and acts on itself somewhat rationally through the machines that it builds.
