I mean whatever works for you. I'm not sure the whole sex change thing is going with the order of things, exactly, and you do seem to rut a lot in pursuit of nuts, but you're definitely ambitious. I want enough to not need anything and I want to help subtract from the abundance of suffering this world has while I'm here. Seems like a more noble way to live than the pursuit of materialist hedonism

I maintain this world is a bad, unnatural place for us as a species and the only constant we can depend on is that it's gonna suck on some level, we're gonna suffer. Budda, probably, Buddism at least says desire is suffering. Worldly ambition is desire incarnate and you suffer for lack of those things you desire. Every higher standard of living you ascend to is another peak for you to fall from, potentially, as you curse fate for depriving you of your new minimum requirements. That sounds like hell to me.
