Sup TFLF,
I'm sort of in a F*cked-up dire situation.
You might remember me: 1 year ago I've worked on a very significant project - FullCook, a machine that can cook anything you want with a press of a button. I didn't know no engineering when I started yet I've learned mechanical engineering from the ground up and despite being told (mostly on this forum, lol) that this is impossible, that it would never ever be profitable, and that I have to go to university to know everything (why, of course), I've managed to design the final version that cost only 500$ to manufacture as prototype and 300$ to manufacture in mass-production.
With a fair 1500$ price (for it saves anybody an hour of time, every day), it's a company that would probably have a couple billion dollars a year.
Now…
Long story short, after working on it for 10 months and a patent, I've realised that despite this machine easily changing the industry of cooking, my ambitions were to change the world. Make the next industry revolution, for the man is measured by the amount of value he brings in the world, and I sure want to be the most valuable of all.
So for the last two months I've worked on something so impactful it'll probably free up, like 50% of human labor in developed countries. Sounds big, and it is, and I had to learn a bunch of skills to make that even start happening, but I've been faced with a problem:
I'm bloody broke. And I'm in a dire environment. Again.
Right now I'm living in a community housing. When I could work on developing myself, I did, and believe me I worked not for myself but for the good of humanity. To alleviate the suffering of billions.
Yet, right now I am in a position where:
Fast forward to now, and turns out both were patented already. Ffs.
So, back to square one, I've found another one - something which can generate 15% more electricity on coal and nuclear factories from [---] (15% is huge), and also from [multibillion waste n2], but it seems that what I've done performs 1500 times less optimal than I've expected (lol). Unless I do something, it's dead.
Means so am I. I've 200€ now and an environment in which I work 6x slower than normal, with a downward spiral looming over my head. The only reason I started with patents is to move elsewhere (dubai, with 0% tax), but if I can't produce jack I'll be stuck here, and a further downward spiral will happen. Right now, they only time I can cut off my environment is at night since nobody will distract me.
I can't get an investor either. Investors demand products and until I finish the industry 6.0 invention, which under silent circumstances would take me 4 months, but as far as it goes, I couldn't because… I had to fix my sanity every couple hours. My work reduced to nothing, and I couldn't learn either.
You may ridicule me, and I know too well some would, but might as well not try - I've gone through more troubles in my life to notice.
I guess I'll just grind until echo since it's by far the most reasonable thing to do.
Right.
What do you think, men? Not to money-chase, but I must gtf out of this environment, fast , or else I'll regress into a nobody I once was...

Right now I'm living in a community housing. When I could work on developing myself, I did, and believe me I worked not for myself but for the good of humanity. To alleviate the suffering of billions.
Yet, right now I am in a position where:
- I live in a house which costs me 80€/mo,
- My landlord is a sidewalker who, according to my description a couple of days ago:
- -is a woman who can not bother to take care of herself, is uneducated, tries to input me into her family, lived meaningless life, lives on welfare, cares only about consumption, is lazy, slurs all the time, is obese, as such has all sorts of bad habits, as a result has miserable life.
- On top of that I have family which now ALL live on governmental welfare 800€/mo, yet all want to give me life advice, their description as follows:
- my mother is a money-chaser and a hedonist, does not want to change her life and is entitled to everyone to help her just because.
- -my grandfather is a money-chaser and also a lazy, uneager to change the world man, unable to force himself to do what he has to <- this guy was a 100m$/year CEO and inventor by the way, done great machines, employed 400 people, and he has a PhD. Yet he preaches slowlane and jobs. I don't F*cking know.
- -my grandmother lived a shitty life under my grandfather yet refuses to acknowledge it and demands me to go to university.
- And as such I have a f*cked up environment. So f*cked up I am for the first time in my life think not on advancing the world forward, but about “how do I not regress to Slowlane my environment”. Trying for any shred of normalcy I lock myself into a room and don't go into the kitchen for days because each time I do, I see the pictures of my landlord's family (you know, sidewalkers with miserable lives too), and that shit sets me back in thinking. It happens because I subconsciously try to learn from everything, and well, learning from that is like adding sand do an engine.
- My family does not want none of my fiduciarism and Fastlane and wants me a job, so despite me blocking them on all social media, they keep coming physically, and lecturing me. And F*ck's with slowlane, but they are no smart people, and I don't want to see them.
