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.
