As soon as you graduate from college at 22, do a two-year fully funded terminal master's, then do a five-year fully funded PhD. Then do a JD at YLS (maybe pair it up with a MPP from HKS). Clerk for two years (COA, Dist.). Then start your first real job, at Paul, Weiss, at the ripe age of 34. Get pushed out at 36. Then KYS.

2. Seeing things for what they are, which is largely flame. For example, realizing that most political movements are self-serving for various groups in power and that most shit like charities are actually political.

who wouldn't want to hear 'straight talk' style confirmation bias-palooza ramblings from a socially inept, squat, self-hating Russian Jew IT geek with high-functioning autism who seriously defends Ayn Rand?

1. dont get me wrong i still want to do shit, i dont equate putting forth effort with striving or w.e, would like create something cool someday. i just never thought about being much of anything and met many people along the way who were superior to me in a singular thing. could i be basketball star? well that other kid is dunking in 8th grade and im not so no lol. again its not something that i sorted my thoughts and rearranged ambitions or something it is just i observed and understood

2. that power underlies everything i always understood, everything is sort of a cover for use of power. it is spooky, and why i fear crowds and group think and institutions and systems and just want to sort of slide through them as best i can

Also realizing that defining yourself by your career is flame because 99% of jobs are shit

Life is truly short and meaningless

“What disturbs and depresses young people is the hunt for happiness on the firm assumption that it must be met with in life. From this arises constantly deluded hope and so also dissatisfaction. Deceptive images of a vague happiness hover before us in our dreams, and we search in vain for their original. Much would have been gained if, through timely advice and instruction, young people could have had eradicated from their minds the erroneous notion that the world has a great deal to offer them.” - Schopes
