"It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any." – Hugh Laurie

Yes, we are ready. People seeing 9/11 on TV shocked them, but they still went ahead anyway. People getting blown up due to war are not ready to die, but humans can get over a lot of things. Look at the craziness of Trump and all the shit he posts; we just accepted that madness as everyday life now. Non physical beings, as Farsight claims with are, being shocked by a prison planet story isn't going to be a problem over time. How we choose to be after all that knowledge is what matters.
