Today has been wild. I woke up after celebrating my birthday (35 woo me) and I instantly knew something was on as my vision was clear and I could see better than 20/20. Going from being heavily short sighted to suddenly being able to see everything without glasses was such a shock. After that I started to notice the other changes, I was physically perfect. That is the only thing I could think of as I went from a slightly pudgy shape to being shaped like a gymnast. I had abbs, biceps etc. Mentally I felt like how I did in my best times fully firing on all cylinders no sense of exhaustion or other thoughts constantly churning. I was 100% focused on now.
Jumping from being awake and finding out your body has changed to having foreign memories did not help either. Suddenly I knew that I had been granted a few perks:
Peak Human Body:
* I was the best version of myself possible.
* I would stay at this level without having to exercise.
* Externally I would age as normal, but this did not mean I would live forever. Currently barring unforeseen activities, I would live till 110 years old.
Deep Learning Mode (DLM):
* The DLM had access to all the Knowledge from a future Civilization. I did not instantly have access to everything but would unlock access to further knowledge as I learned more.
* When I turned this on, externally it was like I went to sleep but instead of normal dreams the DLM system would take over. While in this mode, in the dreams I would be able to choose what knowledge learn. I would be taught the new knowledge in the best format that suited the subject being taught. For example, I might learn about math via teacher student format in a class but whereas repairing an engine would be in a full kited out workshop.
* During the DLM objective time would also be dilated so 10 hours in the DLM would be 1 hour outside. During DLM I would also have 100% focus and concentration.
* DLM also had the sleep option. In this mode I would go through a normal sleep cycle in 4 hours instead of the usual 8 hours.
I tried doing the whole calling out stats/inventory/system. I probably looked dumb calling variation of this out load and in my head trying to see if there was a system to go along with this. Either there wasn’t anything or I did not have the right trigger words. There also does not seem to be any directive or goals. I just had these things handed to me and now I could do anything I wanted to do with it.
I would like to think of myself as a realistic and a logical person hence the first thing was to calm down and make a plan that could follow in the coming days. The plan pretty much boiled down to two parts.
Test my Body:
* Go to the gym and get stats down with Personal best records included for as many exercises as I could.
* I would then test every week to see if the results varied.
* I would also vary my diet to see if I what/how much I am eating would affect this.
Test DLM:
* Does it look like I am sleeping when I turn it on?
* Can I wake up in the middle of DLM?
* Is the Sleep option effective?
* Check if health is affected when in DLM for various amount of time.
* Can I trick the DLM to get access to further tech without understanding the previous steps.
* Does the time dilation work and if so can I change the multiplier (instead of x10 maybe x5 etc)?
* Which civilization is this knowledge from?

While writing this down I was also thinking of how I would try and hide my drastic changes to my body. Basically, I would need to wear baggy full sleeves clothes for 1-2 months while talking to everyone about hitting the gym and going on a diet.
So I went to the gym and got some basic stats recorded. What it worked out to was as it said, I was the best version of myself so I could run fast but not as fast as Bolt and same with dead lifts, bench press etc. They all were all in the top tier for my weight/height but not world record breaking. I would keep checking this for the next few months while I experimented with different types of diet also.
For the DLM it was also pretty much as expected. I recorded myself while I was on the bed before turning on the DLM . On the Video it looked like I was sleeping. I was also able to wake up when the alarm went off. I was unable to change the dilation mode but I will keep trying. The sleep mode is the one of the highlights as normally it took me an hour or longer to go to sleep but now I was sleeping in a second. I was unable to find any answer regarding what civilization was I getting this knowledge from.
I worked out how much real time I could spend in DLM. I would need to spend 8 hours working + 4 hours sleep + 2 hours eat/clean + 2 hour travel (on working days) = Total was 16 hours. That Meant I could spend 8 hours per day in DLM, this would work out to 80 hours (about 3 and a half days) objectively in DLM. I am pretty sure that I will be a lot flexible about how much time I spend in DLM but I would also have to be very careful that I do not burn myself out or ignore the real world.
Now that the initial testing has been done, I have to start thinking about what my goals are. This took a lot of thinking and soul searching. So I tried to break down my plan into what is my current ultimate objective and then how I would work towards it. I basically broke it down as any project I would do ie the had many objectives with estimated timeline and multiple goals.
So the ultimate goal that I want for now is to Explore Space. I do not know what it is that calls to me but I want to go out and explore space. I want to go visit other solar systems and land on other planets. I want to see other suns and meet aliens if they exist. This would be my Ultimate Objective. Being able to go and explore space.
In order to achieve this, I would need to meet many other goals and also there is the whole unknown unknown situation. I currently do not have the full knowledge to know what I need to achieve this goal so I can only speculate based on what I currently know.
1. Money: I would need a shit ton of money to buy/build things.
2. Government Influence: In order to go to space I would need permission and buy in from multiple countries. This meant I would need to be able to influence them.
3. Technology: I would need to learn and build a lot of new tech.
4. Safety: I would need to somehow explain all this new knowledge/tech that will come up with. Also, I will be stepping on a lot of toes that means I need to make sure I and my family are safe.
Looks like it took Space x around $400 million to get their Falcon 9 rockets but although it will cost me less in terms of R&D I will still have to budget something around this figure to make it look realistic. This means for the foreseeable future I will be busy making money.
So my current Money-making plan is to start by learning how to make auto trading software. Basically, I would want to create a bot that would trade FOREX (trade currencies) and consistently make money. To do this I would need to learn Programming, Finance, Math's and AI. Of course, I am not expecting to have something ready to go in a few days, I am giving myself 3-5 months (real time). If I went full in with DLM then each week I would be able to spend around 23 days (objectively: 80 hours x 7 days) or in 3 months, it would be 276 days (about 9 months) in DLM. This is 9 months of pure learning with 100% concentration/Focus. Of course there is the whole question of if I will able to sustain this pace but for now I have given myself this goal.
So in 3-5 months time I should have a trading bot live and I can then quit my actual day job, this will free up around extra 8-10 hour per day that I can use for DLM. That would mean after I quit my job technically per day, I would only need 4 hour sleep + 2 hour eating/cleaning and the rest of the time (18 hours) I could use for DLM (180 hours = about 1 week).
I would then start on the learning about Space tech and I would be in a better place to make further plans.
