What are the common counterpoints to “there’s nothing I, personally, can do about p(doom) or various X-Risks so I just don’t think about it”?

For example, I have a liberal arts education, no social influence, no platform I can beat the drum about specific risks from. I feel no more likely to affect change in, say, development or policy about misaligned super intelligent A.I. than I do about something like the cost of rent in my country, or the legislation around motorized scooters.
