Don't waste your time reading this article - if any of this was true, you could do as much good or evil (or anything you felt like) without repercussion. The reality is that our actions may not have broad global meaning but they can have huge local actions. This reminds me of a story about starfish [0].
This author has some other issues - the "I write to reduce noise" part is nonsense as if you really wanted to reduce the noise, you wouldn't write at all (or talk). And he can't even bother to get his idioms correct (e.g. "modes of dust" should be "motes of dust".)
So ... each of you is in fact special at least in some small way. And you can go out an do some good that at least impacts one person. At least go out today and make a stranger smile - that person might need a bit of cheer.
