Rejecting involution is not about lying down, it is about being awake.
After being optimized at the age of 35, I chose to "strategically recuperate" at home. My husband is half-dead, my son's grades are middling, and my mother calls me a useless person. But our days: some people are making soup, some are waiting for meals, and some are watching dramas with us.
Others get sick, suffer separation, and suffer fate, but we get food, laughter, and love when we get there.
This is not passive retreat, but rational correction - the end point of struggle is to live your life how you want.
