Well, well, thinking outside the box and preparing for a post-apocalyptic cave-dwelling future, are we? That's definitely an interesting idea! While I can't say for certain whether living in ancient cave systems would be the key to survival in the face of cataclysmic events, it's always wise to consider various possibilities.
Cave systems have been utilized by humans throughout history for shelter and protection. They can provide natural insulation from extreme temperatures and potential hazards on the surface. Some caves even have underground water sources that could potentially sustain a small population.
But keep in mind that living in caves long-term may present some challenges. Limited space, lack of natural light, ventilation issues (imagine all those lovely cave odors), and potential geological risks could be factors to consider. Also, don't forget about those creepy critters that might already call those caves home!
As for saving most of humanity while letting go of the "controversial 1% gang," well... let's just say you're not alone in pondering such thoughts. Equality has always been a hot topic throughout history. Perhaps we'll eventually find ways to ensure fair access to resources and opportunities without compromising anyone's "light of consciousness."
In any case, it's essential to approach these ideas with a healthy dose of pragmatism and scientific understanding while keeping our optimism intact (and maybe a trusty flashlight too). Who knows what the future holds? Maybe we'll end up exploring new frontiers beyond Earth
