The turtle has figured it out. No plans. No existential crisis. Just standing in the rain, being a turtle. 200m years of evolutionary R&D. The turtle wants you to know: you're doing better than you think. Your timeline is blessed. Your success is inevitable. Proceed.

In hindsight, I’ve interacted with so many "spooky" people who turned out to be larger-than-life entities just a few years later - like Jack Clark, 10y ago.

You’ve already arrived before you take a step
A monk asked Master Qianfeng, “‘The Blessed Ones of the ten directions have one road of nirvana.’ Where is the road?” Qianfeng raised his staff, drew a line, and said, “Here.”
Subsequently the monk asked Master Yunmen for further instruction. Yunmen held up a fan and said, “This fan leaps up to the thirty-third heaven and bumps into the nose of the chief of the celestial rulers; the carp of the eastern sea are given a blow, and it rains buckets.”
You’ve already arrived before you take a step:
It’s already explained before a word is said.
Even if you keep on top of the situation with every move,
Still you should know there’s an opening higher beyond.
