Going rogue...

As I'm currently writing, I still haven't found a way or maybe I'm almost there to psych myself to going to college full time. So I'm going rogue. I'm not going to college or taking the traditional career path options of learning a trade.

I'm going to try to submit papers on arXiv and use these papers as references showing that I'm able to work as an independent researcher for an institute for minimum wage—any pay is good in this economy. I don't know how I'm going to do that yet. Maybe browsing arXiv papers to learn what's the current trends and trying to contribute to them. Or studying myself and trying to come up with something. Maybe a mixture of both.

My career advice question—more of a question that needs logical confidence—is if it's possible to do this without the concrete material? You know, if you want to contribute to astronomy, I think you probably need a telescope. My interest is mathematics which I think I can contribute to, but if I take this job, I'm willing to do research for whatever comes up—chemistry, astronomy, other mathematics different from mine, computer science maybe (computer science is heavily dependent on experience), robotics, etc.

Another minor question is if anyone has a good perspective of a learning method to quickly contribute to mathematics. I think I've built my own but sometimes I find myself stuck. I'm looking for something repeatable in the nature of what isn't repeatable.

For those of you with degrees, how do you get over inferences? I love inferences too much that they feel like my first my family. When I learn an inference, it feels like an epiphany. I forget the outdated scientific method. I forget about taking care of myself and continuing on with my life. I even struggle to continue my search to find more inferences to learn about, sticking with the ones I know with already instead and instead of learning more until they’re pushed upon me and I stumble upon them by chance.

Does anyone feel the same?

I feel like inferences are the best way to generate knowledge and I’ve stumbled upon them too late, later than 3 year old prodigies who picked up on them sooner than me in life and learned how to generate knowledge faster from the inferences they’ve built upon. I think after opening up, I’m ready to take the next step. Does anyone know a more efficient way I can generate inferences or does psychology simply take time to build?

Whenever I come across a guy with an idea telling it on a founder subreddit, I immediately know what the comments are going to be. Some people mocking the guy but there's these ones that talk as if they're a founder with a successful business themselves. They say, "anyone can come up with an idea. execution is what matters" as if they've said something novel but in reality, they say nothing fruitful. Reverse the sentence "anyone can execute. ideas are what matter." This gives more of a spark as we are all familiar with ideas but execution seems like something we have to learn. That's just me going into the psychology, but does anyone know what the, "anyone can come up with an idea. execution is what matters" people are trying to say?

Edit: what encompasses execution?
