This is a very good psychological explanation, and perhaps we should be spending more time explaining to people why they don’t need the world to respond to human concerns at quite so deep a level. (After all, humans respond to human concerns, and thanks to technology, humans are getting pretty powerful; why isn’t that enough?)
For it really doesn’t make a lot of sense to say that the universe could be ultimately mindful of human concerns. Even if we were living in a simulation run by an alien who loves us very much, the alien is still made of atoms in his universe. Even if Thor were real, he’d still be made of stuff.
