Ahem, 'Learn to hack, learn to quadcopter' can easily be folded into educate, agitate, organize. Just saying. I went to a regional burn (mini burning man without all the rich people, basically a big camping and art event) many years back and had a great time. This looks awesome and you should totally do it and find yourself some hackers to collaborate with. Maybe they'll be leftists already, or maybe you can teach them how their consent has been manufactured. Just watch out for also, mask.
Ah, gotcha, yeah, I feel ya. I guess it depends on how you're half-assing your job. If you're playing angry birds all day, I'd say do cool hacker stuff like watch Conference videos instead. If you're just working in zombie mode that's another story.
Some self-improvement style advice, which you've no obligation to take. But speaking from experience, I would sit down and figure out who it is you want to be. Like what's the Dream version of who you would want to be in the future. And then do two things, find an emotional reason to become that person, someone that person would want to protect kinda thing, And then figure out a bunch of habits that person would have (they workout, they spend 20 minutes a day meditating, they spend 20 minutes a night reading before bed, they volunteer once a week, they do one picoctf a day, etc) Then babystep adding versions of those habits to your life, one new habit after two months of consistency. Think of it like a game and you're building up skill levels. Your future you does 20 minutes of meditation every morning? Start with 5 and then level it up later. That sort of thing. Don't be afraid to make yourself wall charts or whatever technique you want to use to track your progress. Reward yourself when you reach major milestones. This is your only life, taking back how you feel about is revolutionary.
