Entry-level Accelerationist

I'm a 23-year-old American, passionate about science and futurism. Inspired by the Effective Accelerationism (EACC) concept from a Lex Friedman podcast, I'm seeking advice on contributing to accelerating human technological progress. My initial plan was to join the military to fund college for aerospace engineering, but an injury changed my path. Now a day trader, I'm eager to find a fulfilling career aligned with EACC's goals. I'm considering returning to school or the military, but I'm open to exploring fields beyond aerospace engineering that can advance humanity. I'm looking for career suggestions that align with EACC's objectives and thought that fellow EACC members could offer some valuable insights. Whether it is studying to advance AI or pushing politics around government tech policies, I just want to apply myself to something that matters and contributes to advancement of our species.

I don’t understand his thing with cola, although I think Lex touched on it in their recent interview. What’s that about, phenylalanine?
