I would say it’s the day you get off the sidelines and start building, but that’s a broad definition.
What's a pioneer?
A pioneer does not emerge fully formed. They begin as a pleb; anonymous, unrefined, close to the ground where labor happens. The pleb builds without recognition, learns through friction, and moves by necessity rather than vision. This stage is not inferior; it is foundational.
Within every pioneer, the pleb remains. The difference is not one of essence, but of state. The pioneer is the same being operating at a higher frequency; able to see patterns where the pleb sees tasks, able to imagine futures where the pleb endures the present. Elevation does not erase origin; it depends on it.
These two states form a cycle. The pleb grounds the pioneer in reality, preventing abstraction from drifting into fantasy. The pioneer lifts the pleb beyond mere survival, giving direction to effort and meaning to toil. Without the pleb, the pioneer lacks substance. Without the pioneer, the pleb lacks trajectory.
Progress happens in the oscillation between these states. One builds, the other redefines what is worth building. Both are necessary, and neither is permanent. The failure to honor either state breaks the cycle and with it, the possibility of true creation.
when you start thinking for yourself and pursuing your own goals (including starting to build) regardless of what the plebs say
