Henlo frens! Why are you still being a wagie in the city living off the beneficence of Amazon and your landchad when your destiny is making your own way in the universe? You may feel like things in the city are bad, but it is liable to be much worse.
Justin Murphy invited me to California for a weekend to do that interview that we've been meaning to do since 4 years ago! We talk about why I left academia, epistemological anarchism, Orthodoxy Christianity, the Enlightenment and lots of questions about lifestyles for people who are contemplating being future ex-"bugmen" and ex-academics.

I've written scripts that will automatically install my ricing on any fresh install of Arch Linux (should also work on non-fresh installs and possibly Manjaro and other Arch-like distros with AUR access).
Here's how you do it. First, on your install as root, download my install script:
curl http://lukesmith.xyz/longterm/luke1.sh > luke1.sh
bash luke1.sh
Once that's done, it'll've created a new user with a name of your choosing. Log on as that user and run the following:
bash luke2.sh
