If you’re stuck in Shelob’s lair, you have to build some momentum. Otherwise the spider will eat you.
In a perfect world I would have forever (if I needed it), to keep my heart rate low in a state of sleepy convalescence. But this world is not perfect, and [an unspecified individual] is out to dismantle my business websites. Yikes! If my business websites die, I die. (Most people don’t realize this, but my brain is linked up with the IONOS file manager and now WordPress too–this is one of Musk’s Neuralink inventions. If my neural circuitry is cut off from the computer system, not as planned but abruptly, then, just like the team in Inception, I will never wake up… so we’re really talking about murder here.)
So, I have to serve my own website (for safekeeping). And to serve my own website, I need a commercial ISP plan. But to get a commercial ISP, I need a real business office. And to obtain a business office that’s really, truly up to par, I need to buy the GM Renaissance Center in Detroit. Now let’s forget for a second that the Renaissance Center costs well over $1B dollars and just assume that it costs, maybe, half a million. How do I get that kind of money?
Well, if you think at all like me, the most straightforward path to getting half a million dollars, post-tax, is to earn a million dollars, pre-tax. And by far the simplest, easiest path to earning a million dollars is… you guessed it, solving one of the Millenium Problems!
P.S. Yes, I know I said that Grothendieck’s web was a good one. But Grothendieck is now dead, and Shelob has repurposed the web to devour poor grad students in the shadow of the newly rebuilt “McGraw tower.”
