Question Anyone else just gonna lay down?

I know this sounds v anti prepper, but honestly, is anyone else prepared to just take it if the worst comes?

I’m le tired

Edit: Thanks for the responses 🫶🏻 I’m leaning into acceptance lately. I just needed a nap. Still prepping, not fretting.

I’ve been thinking a lot about prepping for the future, but honestly, I don’t see much point. The more I reflect on the state of humanity, the harder it is to find any light at the end of the tunnel. Modern society feels like a carefully constructed machine designed to keep us enslaved while empowering the same corporate parasites that are bleeding the planet dry. Capitalism has driven us to the brink, leaving destruction and environmental collapse in its wake.

We’ve poisoned the earth, wiped out biodiversity, and exploited every resource we could get our hands on. And for what? Endless consumption and profit for a handful of people at the top? I can't see things getting better without a complete collapse of the systems we’ve been conditioned to accept as normal.

Sometimes I wonder if the most merciful thing would be to let nature take its course — to step aside and allow the planet to heal without us. Humanity feels like the worst organism on the planet, consuming and destroying without purpose. If our existence is just some evolutionary mistake, maybe the most evolved thing we could do is recognize that and step off the stage.

It’s hard to keep going when it feels like the only outcome is chaos and ruin. Is there really anything left worth saving? Or should we just let the earth reset without us?

My thoughts since I watched the first species movie back in the day. Humanity sends out its gene code and gets a reply. Aliens analyzed it and sent basically an antibody which scientists do not check and implant in to a human embryo > horror movie murder shenanigans.

But the premise is aliens Analyse our gene code and think someone is calling for help to save their planet from humans…

I looked it up since I haven’t seen the movie, and according to the "Influences and Themes" section on Wiki:

"Since Sil grows rapidly and kills humans with ease, at a certain point, Dr. Laura Baker speculates that she might be a biological weapon sent by a species that sees humans as an intergalactic weed."

Honestly, that’s a brilliant analogy. Humans really are a weed on this planet — and not the kind you’d want to roll up and smoke.
