It’s got what plants crave.

    I thought the moral of the story is that society goes to shit when people choose to “get out of the way” instead of “lead or follow.”

    Joe specifically reflects in the film: “I think maybe the world got like this because of people like me. I never did anything with my life."

        In order to gain the benefits of society, it may be required to participate in it. Not doing that is how we got what we have today. And participating can be as simple as voting, spending money toward local businesses where you can, or participating in a local club to show support. But you don’t get the utopian society by everyone shelling away from everyone else. People are social creatures whether we want to be or not.

          I’d rather die of exposure.

          Plus I’ve been voting and buying local for years decades and things just get worse.

          I may, however, not be human since being social is literally hell

        Society can afford some asocial people but not many/a majority. Any society with a growing number of people who can’t handle socializing and being part of/contributing to the group, one way or another, will probably go extinct. I’m not saying you should care (I assume you don’t), I’m just making an observation. 🤷
