You can, you just have to step outside the bounds of what the system says you should do, which is not a statement about the legality of one's path but rather one's ability to not be a lemming. Figure out how to break free. I figured out how to generate massive amounts of attention. The FBI said no, I gotta have education first. But y'know, what I'm saying is, if you know how to generate 100k views on a profile per day, or juggle, or write 2k-7k words a day without AI or drugs, well, those are examples of things that can open doors you don't see because you're looking at the world the way you've been programmed. And if you figure out how to do a buncha stuff like that together for a good purpose, you get used in bigger picture shit, because our culture is engineered.
