Both of you these are objective. You can think you are insignificant or you can think that you are part of the big bang which is still happening. It's just narration and if it makes no practical difference (as it would seem in these cases), everybody can choose whatever makes him feel better, there is no need to put down the other narration.
You can think whatever you want. But in almost all cases you are wrong.
And you can only choose what makes you feel better in matters that don't matter. In all others you are almost always better off choosing what is actually correct.
You can choose a narrative that pi equals 3 because it makes you feel better but you won't be doing world or yourself any favors if you choose to make real world decisions based on that narrative.
If you want to be correct, there's hardly any "you" to begin with. Given basic physics, cultural and physical context (whether that's atmosphere and biosphere or 21st century and technolgy), dropping cartesian theatre you will have a hard time finding "you". It's mostly a language construct.
If you want analogy - we are looking on the river and we see a vortex, then it disappears. Parent comment is like - oh, the water is again flowing in the straight flow. And your version is - there was a vortex, and now it's gone forever, nothing left of it.
Good analogy. However vortex for as long as it exists is not meaningless. It can do things and it's perfectly reasonable that it's in its interest to keep existing so it can keep doing things.
So there is "you" as there is a "vortex". It's not just a language construct. It's a language construct that describes impactful but sadly transient phenomenon.
