No, I’m saying that not all situations present the same amount of opportunities, and your situation makes a difference whether or not you think it does.
I do not think there is a fully-general piece of advice for you, but you clearly believe there is. I believe this is a mistake on your part, and have said so several times now. Since you are not apparently interested in hearing that, I will not bother to repeat myself further.

Okay, and that’s not something I dispute. If I did somehow manage to correct my cognitive flaw, one of the possibilities is that I’d discover that I really don’t have any options. But I can’t know that until the flaw is solved.

Of course I believe there is a fully general algorithm for identifying avenues of advancement towards a terminal goal. But phrasing it like that just made me realize that anyone who actually knew it would have already built an AGI.
Well, having it described in terms suitable for human improvement and relying on existing human cognitive abilities would lower it just to universally applicable intelligence amplification.

Well, crap.

So you did not ask for something AGI-equivalent.
I’m glad this has been enlightening. ^^
