Parable: You start off on the ground floor and want to get to the top. First learn to thrive on the ground floor, then climb to the second floor and learn to live there with success, and so on till you reach the top floor if you do reach it. If you fall back a few floors you will already know how to thrive there. If you try to climb from the ground floor to the top floor without learning to thrive on each, you mostly likely won't make it, and if you fall back you'll be destroyed due to not knowing how to survive on any floor.
My college education was a 12 year attempt to go from the ground floor to the top floor with cunning, but never stopping to learn to survive on any floor. It did not produce good results, even when I got the job I was supposed to have. And as I embarked on a journey of self-re-education I discovered I didn't know how to do much that is useful for someone in my station. Only time will tell if it was worth the tradeoff.
So start wherever you are and achieve what is success on each floor. If you fall to or start on the ground floor, learn to thrive there, then proceed.
Example, if you are designing software, design a simple program that works and solves a problem, then build on that. Do not try to create a program that will fix all the world's problems without ever developing it's predecessors and allowing it to grow and evolve. You will never finish and will tank all of your money into it then fall to the ground floor where you may not know how to survive.
Technologically-enhanced Neoprimitive Savagery (TEN-P savage) is the use of technology and age old wisdom to live a life that mimics the best aspects of a primitive life. Why return to nature with technology? 1. Reduce human, animal, and personal suffering. 2. Improve your health with a natural diet and sun. 3. Free humans from factory work farms where they are often imprisoned for 8 hours a day, working at a computer. 4. Free animals from factory farms.
