The education system is very good at making cogs out of people. I still fight to deprogram myself and look for freedom. Lately I've been hitting a wall on that, but that's another post.

I totally get that. I think the deprogramming happens in stages. Like there are gates in your mind that must open before deeper gates can be breached.

For me it started with school and how useless it was. University is a sham, etc. Work experience taught me 99% of what I really needed to know as an engineer.

Then I started to see the BS of corporate America, earning money, saving, investing, work-life balance. It was all so contrived and fake. Nothing mattered and no good deed goes unpunished. That's what made Bitcoin attractive to me.

Then so on and so forth from Bitcoin, but it was stop and go the entire time because literally every new idea was challenging and hard to believe.

I feel this. I'm probably not as far along as you though.

Life is a journey taken one step at a time. Slow and steady and honest; no work is wasted.

Even just that was a journey to really comprehend, but it's true. No matter how stuck or lost I felt, I always found a way to learn and to understand and to find the truth so long as that was my goal. I think you'll do just fine. I still have a long way to go, I'm sure.
