Apathetic

I don't see how anyone engaged in this conversation can be apathetic. The fact that you, 70Chip, JoeRedskin, and I have continued this discussion argues to the contrary.

apathy - A symptom of several mental illnesses, apathy is a lack of emotion or interest in things one would ordinarily consider important.

Neither 70Chip nor I said the end of the world was not a thing of interest (70Chips indifferent comment, again in the context of it being "scary", not to the concept in total), just that we don't let it scare us, or find it scary.

An apathetic person, to such a state as you are referring to, would, as JoeRedskin said, just say "eh whatever" to this conversation, if they were to have been somehow engaged in it to begin with.
