Haven't you grown up and realized and accepted that the world doesn't WANT to be saved, yet?

I don't think your perspective is grown up
the framing of 'saved' still requires a benevolent external actor; what you're offering is still the same abrahamic serf mentality: "somebody's coming to help us", whether that be Jesus, Superheroes, Aliens, breakaway civilisations in Haunebu craft, or you imaging yourself as capable of saving
even if you want to be cool and pessimistic and blame people for "not wanting to be saved", it's still viewing the world through that lens of fantasy cope, and I don't find that mature

if you're waiting for something to save you, it's not coming
if you're waiting for some state change whereby you can now start saving others, that's not happening either
there is salvation in no-one else
the struggle is intrinsic, scarcity is inherent, and both are completely desirable, and immutable parts of the system of reality; nature weeds out the weak who do not deserve to live as a necessary function

helping people is a lot like feeding wild animals, or feeding Africa - you create a dependent population, and a population boom which will grow until you can feed it no longer, and in your ineffable and ostensible 'wisdom', the result is that you've now created a greater net suffering than there initially was
had you just left this homeostatic metaxy alone to POSIWID do what it does (wu wei), things would be better; you're simply not clever enough to account for all emergent consequences of your perturbance of this beautiful and delicately-balanced system with your ham-fisted efforts, so better and kinder to lose the ego and just stay the fuck away
I argue this is true, and a more severe form of your pessimism

no one thinks anymore

if that was real life they wouldn't be thinking
