1. You control their minds by manipulating their language with retarded programming;
2. You steal their fruits and labor by debasing their currency;
3. You collapse their cognitive functions by systematically reducing their attention span;
4. You destroy what's left of their common sense by pushing theories they're unable to grasp because of 1, 2 and 3.
By securely stacking sats and training your mind to stay in the present you can avoid most threats.
Now, what kind of content to consume?
Because time is limited, you'll want to make the most out of it. There are probably two ways to know what's good for you:
1. Once you begin to know yourself, you'll find your guide inside you. Your intuition is the quantum computer you seek - the perfect assistant and tool.
2. Before 1 becomes a reliable thing for you, build your network of trusted counselors. Assign ratings to your favorite people, then act accordingly. Refresh the ratings and expand your circles in time.
Chances are it's going to take more than a decade or two for the 10% critical mass to occur. Worst case scenario you'll only build the foundations during this lifetime for your next adventure, but hey, people had it worse for many millennia before you.
Ah, and don't be a cunt if you can, for everyone you meet it's likely stuck on a question. That person is a reflection of you and you of them. There are no NPCs on your way, just parts of yourself that are still asleep.
Wake up Neo. Big business now, big pleasure later.
