 This. I also learned that you cant save people.

 Yeah, its like we also can't change the chimpanzees, and it is unbearable to live among them, but we find a way to make a place for ourselves chimpanzees free, don't we?
And at least some of us, despite chimpanzees being unbearable, still invest the effort to make life good for chimpanzees too, while not intermixing with them. 
So, can we do something similar with normies, without trying to convert them into ourselves, or at least at a much slower pace than we would like, perhaps at a pace they are capable to progress at.
