Disclaimer
 - **Quick Note**
 - I don't endorse people around me actually taking these paths. There are pros and cons I haven't analysed.

List
 - Manufacture or distribute gun powder
 - Manufacture or distributed ham radios (especially encrypted)
 - Manufacture or distribute drugs. (Update: I later looked into this, loneliness is a big challenge for dark web drug dealers.)
 - Kidnap a politician or billionaire. Demand information or favours, or if you're really stupid, demand a ransom.
 - Create cladestine bioweapons lab and hold the world ransom
 - Suppress sex drive using drugs. (Update: I later looked into this, it won't work if you are missing emotional connection.)
 - Espionage of nuclear facilities, sell information to govts
 - In general, journalism aka espionage of anyone powerful
