I turned side questing into a modern prestige profession.
All it took was being cynical about everything except myself, then post-training my own policy to maximize expected return (serendipitous events (luck surface area)) by improving it until probability mass collapsed onto high-value action sequences, with mixed rollouts reserved for exploration.
That led me to attempt zero-employee companies as a way to build my way out of the permanent underclass, one day at a time.
If I had to give one piece of advice on carving your own path, and I mean truly your own, it’s this: protect your cogsec. The pendulum swings. The mind decays. They will tug at it, prompt-inject the latest psyop, and try to steer your internal model for you. Don’t let them.
Hold the line long enough and you win.
