Interesting question.
You’d have to cancel out the sideway movement of the earth, and it’s going roughly 85000km an hour.
Once you cancel that out, you’ll simply fall down to the sun. But you’d never a very powerful rocket. It’s way easier to get to mars, as comparison.
It’s more realistic to do gravity assists from venus and other bodies, and in that case it’d take years. Just a rough guesstimate would be 10 years I guess? But maybe you’d have to even sling past jupiter or something to really slow down, so then it might be decades.

Why force yourself to start something big and complicated? Just enjoy your life lol and do stuff that comes to you and feels right. Maybe that’s a game, but no need to force it.

Fun fact as a game dev I had to write this code a couple of times where I project the 3d stuff into 2d like that so when you tap with your finger or click I can do proper distance checks in 2d (what’s closest to the finger?), even though it feels and acts 3d.

I’m mostly on your side but I did just cancel my gpt4 subscription.
There’s several factors but the main one is that it just uses a whole lot of power and materials eventhough I don’t really need it.
For example it helped me learn about electronics, and it was effective at that. But I feel it’s more efficient to just buy an ebook. It just feels slightly less convenient, but actually is healthier for my focus.
It’s kinda like with bitcoin. It isn’t a net positive given our current situation.
The other thing it was good at was searching information and providing it in a uniform format, rather than the mess that is the web rn. But installing Firefox and a bunch of extensions solved that. And search engines allow for generating an LLM response when I feel it would really help.

This is why if I was an alien I’d never want to fuck around with humans. I mean we are going through a rapid mass extinction event and we are all here laughing about how it looks like a 🍆

Lol some people have some really strange ideas about de Dao de Jing. It takes a lifetime of studying to understand, so clearly there are multiple layers and aspects to it. What’s absolutely hilarious to me is that people later decided it was a good idea to build a dogmatic religion around it 🤷🏻♀️
