>i know there are others out there that intuitively know there is more out there than what we are shown by media and culture, but i don’t know of any people like that.
I got really lucky, my mother and my wife are the only ones who I can say that I know of who are like that (besides you guys on /biz/ and a few others from my past)

>how can i get this knowledge i desire? where can i find a mentor?
it sounds funny but it's true
when the student is ready, the teacher will appear
it won't be a hollywood type mentor, a lot of deeply flawed people can still teach you valuable lessons and skills
I find it best to take my personality and opinion about the topic or the person out of the equation when I'm in a learning/student mode.
It's an invaluable skill in learning.
if you want practical advice, I highly recommend curating your linkedin and networking with people on there and getting references from colleagues and employers and curate your interests and feeds and connections
For example I have a few people from the chainlink team on my IRL linkedin network connections. This is in addition to the connections I already have established from my current consultancy and previous work and studies.
