    And I have an old professor who's literally famous and would also write me a red hot rec letter and I also have three undergraduate publications with first authorship on one so like I could probably get into MIT or CMU but also literally why would I do that we should be fighting the fascists not running simulations of obscure algorithms no matter how sexually attracted to the algorithms I am

      Honestly, get a math doctorate. It'll actually be useful after the revolution.

      And speaking of the revolution, unless you're planning on singlehandedly fighting off the US military and have a realistic plan to do that, maybe don't hinge your entire life plan on hoping that there will somehow magically be a revolution starting tomorrow.

        I don't have the skill or interest for math lol and I'm not expecting a revolution just a general malaise and lack of employment

      My exact feeling but I feel I'd be useless either way, I'm a mediocre autodidact and no hackerman. Only difference is pay, stability and the particularities of my employer. You'll be working for the interests of the same people anyway.
