Soul-crushing nihilism is your choice.

So nothing matters? Then it doesn't matter what you believe, even if it's "untrue". Think about a game, chess, tennis, cards, whatever, you play it against an opponent, both of you know this game means nothing, it's just a game and yet you take it seriously, you hate to lose and you love to win. It doesn't matter though, it's just a game, so why did you get so invested in it as if it was real?

The fact you can do that with a game means you can do it with reality too. Yeah it would be cool to genuinely believe in something but you just have to accept it and it doesn't mean you have to resign to depression. In the end we don't KNOW what is true, maybe there really is something more to it all, so that mystery is still there.

Literal NPC responses

This is the exact reason people don't "wake up", their defense mechanisms like the one we see here kick in and keep them in their collective dream. They don't want their worldview questioned, because that is too scary for them. They take it as an attack, but it's the opposite, waking up is a good thing, if only they could see that.

Pic related, (optimistic)nihilism is the first step, if you're not a nihilist you're still asleep.
