Hmm,...

Eyes closed : you should care about all of them.
Eyes opened : you should care about one of them.

When you are ignorant of the possibilities you should care
about the possibilities.
When you know actuality you should care about actuality.

If you don't know which one among 10E43 "you" you are, take care
about all these 10E43 "you". I suggest.
... not only because one of the futur actuality belongs to actual
possibilities (you will be one of them), but also because these
possibilities actually
could "interfere".

Exercice (I am joking) :

If a mad scientist decides to put you
into the following quantum "cat" state: Psi =

 (1/sqrt(|a_1|^2 + |a_2|^2))*
    [a_1*|you in-hell> + a_2*|you in-paradise>]

and give you the opportunity to choose between

A) Psi with a_1 >>>>>>>>> a_2 (a_2 negligeable compare to a_1) and
B) Psi with a_2 >>>>>>>>> a_1 (a_1 negligeable compare to a_2)

Will you care about that opportunity ? and if you care,
what will you choose: A or B ?
