I mean, I don't disagree with your assessment of the 'parasite class' as you call them, but none of what you've written is cause enough to stop trying. The only thing that guarantees failure is not to try. As the articles I've linked to demonstrate it's never too late. https://plana.earth/academy/is-it-too-late-for-our-planet
