The passionate AGIer is lonely, angry, retired or approaching early retiremnt, flirting with insanity and poor. Ready to share his ignorance and spread his misery. Sometimes it gets too hard to hide the truth lol. Now, suppose I want to create Boeing 2.0, and I am at high school, and to make it more fun nobody knows what a Boeing looks like and we only just about left the steam age. Where do I start, finance, engineering, human ressources? Sorry to be so zen but you just have to start at being happy and rich! Learn organically, things that seem right to you, when the time seems right and when you can afford it. Earn more to afford more. Learn programming but do not forget driving or diving or skydiving, you never know when you may have to jump out of a plane with sentient source code on a USB stick in your shirt pocket! Most of all practise cooperation relentlessly and kindness ruthlessly. May the SuperCog be with you, amen!
