Straight track: the cluster. Do nothing and it's sabotaged: tech progression slows, the stars wait, but you keep your cozy desk job until retirement. Curved track: your generation's career pipeline. Pull the lever and your career is terminated at 35 and you live on welfare, but your grandchildren inherit a post-scarcity paradise. What do you do?
