[ Rick & Morty ] How do you end up a blue collar Rick on the citadel?

I know C-137 is the Rickest Rick, but the idea of becoming a factory worker seems incompatible with Rick’s whole outlook on life and abilities? A man with that intellect and skill set doesn’t need to be making cookies on a conveyer belt, so how does he end up there?

Because the citadel is an ultimately self-defeating proposition (as we see) but Ricks are too proud and stubborn to realize this.

When you're the smartest person in your entire universe, that's great. But once you get a bunch of "smartest-people-in-their-universes" you've eliminated that advantage. Among that group there are going to be gradients of relative smartness. Like Rocket says to Tony Stark in End Game: "You're only a genius on Earth."

As Rick says: "Whoever is stilll exploring the citadel is either stupid or one of the unfortunate millions held hostage by their terrible ideas."
