Hi, I’m pleased to see that this has been nominated and has made a lasting impact.
Do I have any updates? I think it aged well. I’m not making any particular specific claims here, but I still endorse this and think it’s an important concept.
I’ve done very little further thinking on this. I was quietly hoping that others might pick up the mantle and write more on strategies for caring less, as well as cases where this should be argued. I haven’t seen this, but I’d love to see more of it.

I’ve referred to it myself when talking about values that I think people are over-invested in (see https://eukaryotewritesblog.com/2018/05/27/biodiversity-for-heretics/), but not extensively.
Finally, while I’m generally pleased with this post’s reception, I think nobody appreciated my “why couldn’t we care less” joke enough.
