I PLAN to go to MIT.
Into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The first two subjects will be me following their open source, online course curriculums as if I were a student, use their materials such as textbooks, assessments, and exams, so I can be a master in both subjects, with 100% marks on my final assessment. - to be the best student they wish they had.

Then the second two subjects will be what I will study after getting accepted to the campus itself in 2025, to which through the practice and experience I gained by achieving the goals I set for 2024, I should be able to do the same while simultaneously doing harder subjects, at an otherworldly faster pace than of what is expected of me, and even add an element of daily socialisation into the mix despite maintaining my efforts to make money and a healthy body, just as I will be doing in 2024.
Sounds interesting and fun!

You originally wanted to do computer science at UNSW. Why not start it at UNSW then transfer to MIT?

MIT alumni and students are the closest things there are to geniuses in the world. What makes you think you are on their level? They've participaited in olympiads, competitive programming compeitition and are like Ruse kids on steriods. They're not just the best in the United States. They're the best in the world. The smartest kids from India, China, Japan and Korea all go there.

Kids study from the day they were born just to get a CHANCE of being there. Are you up to it?

EDIT: Sorry got you confused wiht Etho_X who wanted to do UNSW

One last thing, I'm not trying to meddle in your business, or discourage, spread negativity or any of the such. I'm just trying to question what's in your mind. I confess. I would also like to transfer to a university like that, and I actually really want to make the effort to become that, but I'm very unsure it will happen. I wish you the best for your future.

I’ve already experienced a hellish amount of stress before that I never once knew existed, but every time I go through these moments of extreme discomfort, eventually, there comes a time where I finally cross a certain threshold, and that way of living is no longer stressful, and becomes my new calm even.

Of course, I can’t say that this applies to one’s psychology, for mental madness isn’t something you can get ever get used to, and instead should be purified - which I thankfully have and will never be touched by malevolence again.
However, when it comes to more real-world things, I’ve always found that whenever I try to succeed in something, eventually, there is always a point where
I no longer have to TRY to do something, and the things that I once couldn’t even imagine, let alone felt to be an impossibility, were suddenly the new things that would be able to try to do.

I would say mastery of a subject is when you don’t have to think anymore when you want to accomplish something, just like you would if you were able to speed run a game that has mechanics with an incredibly high learning curve.
The difference between the you who first tries to play the game without any prior experience for the mechanics, compared to the version of you who is speed running, may as well literally be worlds apart.
You've defintely got a mindset. However a transfer like you would be the first ever. ALL transfers from MIT come from at least a university. Besides you must be extremely confident in yourself to not even enroll in a university as a backup plan

First of all, my reasons for not going to a prerequisite education just to go to MIT is the fact that it’s slow and expensive, and I’m already in enough dept as it is.

If I can’t even self study an MIT course to mastery, then there’s no way in hell I’ll be as capable as my ideal self, which I have been eagerly awaiting to reach the point where I could finally begin such a journey.

Secondly, the issue you seem to be asking is about whether or not you can catch up, or if it’s too late to become the genius that most devoted their entire lives to becoming within a quick enough period of time so it doesn’t feel like a waste of cultivation - since you could be doing other things that will yield more success if you remain focused on the things within your current skill set.

And the only thing I have to say to that is, so what?
In the end, it’s your job as a human being to strive, if it’s not possible, that’s nature’s business, not yours, so why stress it?

In the end, even if success isn’t guaranteed, at least excitement will be.
If you have to lower your levels of excitement for the sake of being ‘realistic’, then that’s just a stupid way to live, since not only does higher levels of excitement make you more likely to succeed (especially in the more ‘realistic’ things), but it also gives you a chance to truly live your life.

All my life I have HATED the word “Realistic”, because that’s something I’ve always heard from those who keep telling me to keep my exciting dreams to myself, believing that if I didn’t first know enough to make a full-proof plan with also the resources at my disposal, then there isn’t a reason for me to be dreaming so big.
But the thing is, how could I EVER first become capable of having those things they think I need, if I don’t first have also the big dreams to get the knowledge and resources in the first place?
In the end, you should live your life striving for the IDEALS that excite you, and whatever plan come up with and ADJUST ACCORDINGLY is up to you to decide along that journey, but you have to at least be on that journey.

To be “Idealistic”, my most favourite word, is to be free spirited and all the time excited about the otherworldly potential that lies within even the most fictitious of fantasies.
I don’t care if I want to one day create literal magic or something, for even if I want to, I WILL try, for I have absolute faith that anything is possible.
ANYTHING.

“Less than 1% of internationals get accepted.”, one of reddit replies reads.
Doesn’t the possibility that you could be, not only one of those people, but also to be the best student to be accepted out of all the students period, excite you?

Of course it can be scary to think that despite your efforts you won’t make it, but in that case, just try again, it’s not the end of the world!

The thing is, personally, when I try something and I think that it’s coming to an end and it turns out I failed and I have to take twice as long to make it happen, instead of feeling as though all that time was wasted and that I have to start over again, I just feel as though the same journey never ended.

Think about it for a second, the first time you get inspired to do something, you’re full of energy and you want to make your ideal into a reality, you’re excited, and the thought that you’ll fail doesn’t even cross your mind, and even so you still fail. Well, from the perspective of such a person, it’s more like they‘re still trying, “Wait, what? I failed?”, then they shrug and move on because their view of existence is unwavering, for they are always focused like a madman to make it happen.

Think about it this way at a lower scale:
You play a video game and it has a timelimit that you have to complete it in to get a gold trophy.
You attempt again and again and again to speed run it, and eventually you’re make it close to the end of the game, so close that you can taste it, but with only a minute left of gameplay left, you run out of time.

In the state you’re in while being completely, hyper-immersed in your efforts to get the gold trophy, do you think you would feel annoyed, cold, numb, disheartened, negative in general, just because you failed?

No, you’re immersed in the game that you’re playing, failing is part of the game, why would you stop playing just because you failed an attempt?
You want to play the game, do you not? Then who’s stopping you from doing so?

Sure, overall time is wasted, but don’t let that get to your head, and just try to win, like you always have been from the start.

That’s what it means to be someone who never gives up. It doesn’t mean to chant words in your head like “keep going son!” or putting up with the pain of being behind from where you want to be grinding despite the anxiety you feel, for there shouldn’t be any such pains, instead it’s all about remaining true to yourself, remaining untouched by malevolence, and never handing over your control over your mind, emotions, and energy levels to the things that happen to you.

When you play a hard game, you go in a gamer and come out a successful gamer.
Yet for whatever reason, barely anyone realised that in life you should go in free spirited, and come out successful and free spirited.

Once you become your ideal self, someone who can remain untouched by malevolence, NEVER change.
That’s the best advice I can give.

I have been working out for multiple hours every day now (it’s been 4 days in a row now), doing both calisthenics and weight lifting.

My joints are heaps better now, so that why I’m finally working on the muscles instead of just my ligaments, however, I am still stretching everyday to optimise flexibility and muscle recovery speed.

Today I woke up with a realization that entered my mind through my brain while I was half asleep, as if the realization was not my own, and I learned that I can treat mathematic studies like I do psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and conspiracy theories, in terms of the exploration aspect, as well as art in terms of the inspirations that I want to surpass.

In art, my inspirations that I want to surpass in technical skills are Guweiz and WLOP, whereas in maths, physics, and engineering, it's Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Oppenheimer, and Elon Musk.

There are probably more people out there who will inspire me today within these fields other than just Elon Musk, but I know so little that I have yet to stumble upon the masters of our time.

Finally, when it comes to the artworks (Analogy for STEM 'projects') I will make, this will tie into my gamer mentality, where I treat life as a series of quests that can be taken on if first grinded towards being capable of taking on.

The ultimate quest/goal I can think of at the moment, is the exciting possibility of going to another solar system within my early years.

To have some guidance towards how I should play this game, without getting bored by the prerequisite tutorials I will have to learn through and through, I will learn these fundamentals naturally by reading through the works of people like Albert Einstein to 100% complete understanding, instead of picking up some random NESA maths textbook without the incentive of a challenge - just yet.

Below is a website that I am currently reading through that supposedly includes all of Einstein's papers that have ever been written throughout his lifetime:

I took a work out break and got back to reading only just now, but it's so cool to think that I'm going to be reading Einstein's COURSE LECTURE NOTES as well.

Yo, dude, Einstein's funny.
I listened to Walter Isaacson's biography of him, but it didn't do him justice since it made me assume he was an idiot with great capabilities, but he seems pretty relatable and exciting so far in his actual autobiographical notes.

I'm up to page xxxviii.

I'm honestly just impressed with how tidy the information is stored and categories are in a single place.
It takes zero effort to find out what you have to do to learn the course of your choosing, and it's all free!!

Trying to come up with a more solid goal that will help me as a stepping stone to becoming genuinely Otherworldly, I realized that going to MIT to study something I already know I can self-study now I sort of pointless. Of course, one of my goals is to socialize, but I think I should at least have some hope in making friends within a job that I could get in the future - Maybe I could work for SpaceX and use the experience I gain there to my greater advantage, compared to simply studying at MIT?

Well, either way, in order to match my vision regardless of these sub-goals, I'll need power in all sorts of aspects of life, and this will for the meantime include economic power, since the only way to live outside of the economy, is to first take over it.

This then led me to start reading a trial version of the book "Fastest Way to Become a Billionaire", and all I needed to do was read the title of the first chapter, "Three Days to Live".
With the thought experiment in mind that I will die in 3 days from today, I wonder how much I can try to accomplish within that time. Maybe I can complete a goal or two??

This sort of ties back into the idea of speedrunning, and this excites me.

What it is that I want to speedrun as fast as I can right now is to complete the following within the world record time limit of 3 days:
  • Learn computer science MIT courseware.
  • Create a program that can be used as a profitable agency.
  • Get my first customer.

In order to sell a program as an agency product to a specific market, I will have to also complete the following sub-goals:
  • Make a website.
  • Advertise the website and service on all social media by creating as much trending content as possible.
  • Have the product/service be self-regulating so as to not have to deal with customer service until I at least start hiring others to help me with those greater roles.

As for other ways of making money, I believe that someone who has otherworldly capabilities would approach this stepping stone through the following actions with long-term considerations:
  • The agency that I will make doesn't have to be specifically made for people with high power and influence in mind, instead, it could be made for the people that I simply empathize with for the cause that it is that they fight for, since those are the types of people that I would like to be friends with.

This took me literal days to write, since the final dot point was something that needed very careful consideration as to what type of person I wanted to be, after many confusions once again as to what The Ideal was.
Thankfully, I managed to finally merge The Ideal with my hero Sorey, so I can actually start getting to work on the things that I care about.

if you can do anything right now why are u still posting on BOS post HSC
I started posting on this website, and I decided that I wouldn't stop until I felt like my journey on here was 100% finished - which should be soon, since I made a list of goals I have to complete before I allow myself to do so.

I really like this way of thinking and I will honestly think this way from now on.
Some say it is cynical but I 100% disagree.
It allows you to really focus on the big picture and your goals and to stop and avoid the mundane crap that is stealing our attention in this world.

1 - Become The Ideal [Completed]
2 - Make amends for all my sins.
3 - Become as capable as The Ideal.
4 - Accomplish all the goals (not dreams) I ever started here on BOS.
