Your 'quest' is admirable, if a little naive and stupid. One piece of advice I will give you is this: you're going to be pushing yourself to the mental limit, and in order to reach and sustain yourself at this limit, you might want to make some lifestyle changes that will promote mental health and clarity; simple things like making sure you're getting eight hours of sleep a night (get a sleep mask, get a box fan for white noise and to keep the room cool, get some ear plugs if your environment is loud at night, etc etc), don't watch pornography, and wean yourself off of any addictive video games that might be taking up valuable time. If you want to make some bigger changes (again, with the goal of improved mental health), start doing some light exercise (cardio or lots of walking or jogging; taking long walks was a habit a surprising amount of intellectuals and philosophers had), and fix your diet (it's basically proven at this point the effects your diet has on your mental and emotional well-being. Look up the Mediterranean diet, for example, as a good place to start). If you're serious about this, you should give it your all.
