I guess the first question I would ask is that considering we're at the impossible task of finding the end of the OIC, what's the benefit of getting there faster? Not to tangent too much, but I think that mindset of maximizing travel towards forward dimensions might be a fairly recent thing that has come in line with the harvest deadline. As more transitionals are born, they are sick of the 3D experience and want to move to 4D; this is manifested by people actually longing for a different experience (ie: min/max-ing the ascension process).
Practically, what I take from it is that you can embrace the paths to power in this world and go full STS, make a huge fortune or gain massive influence, and then switch over somewhat late in the game and go STO-crazy with their money and influence at that point. I guess it's a possibility, but I think it's much harder to do than anyone might realize. STS does not owe you a chance to get out. Also, I think the argument is somewhat hard to imagine because we're end of cycle too... we don't have much time left to get our switch in

Thank you for those quotes, I really enjoyed both.
