I’d design and build useful things
Create art. Writing screenplays and books. Painting, gardening, working out, traveling, seeing live music, volunteer with whatever great organization I happen to be into at the time. Spend more time in my community. Have children.
Streamer but in like a chill way, no subs
I’m terrified because I don’t really have an answer.
Same thing I do for money now, handyman shit
I’ve been using the stress of needing to do things to keep me going. Without it I can’t even imagine what I’d do.
I would still be programming. Just that it would be the projects I want to do, instead of the ones my employer wants to do.
Do so much more with horses Video games Art
All the things I do for fun and hobbies I would do a lot more. Which would likely be the following:
- Exercise (running in the warm months and skiing in the cold)
- TTRPGs (I might move from 1 day of the week into two, and assuming everyone else has the same deal play in-person instead of digitally)
- Reading (books and more books)
But mostly I would work on living the permaculture / herbalism fantasy.
- Do a lot more herbal formulation and
- Maybe open the small apothecary to sell things at Art fairs and other makers markets.
- Turn my urban yard into a full food forest to help grow some of my own food, and herbs. (I want to have an urban oasis of edible trees, bushes and other useful plants)
- Volunteer more a local prairie restoration group that I have worked with in the past
- Finally spend some time gorilla gardening on open lots and sides of alleyways around my neighborhood to spread the plant love.
Damn, you really have a plan up your sleeve. Good for you!
Well I have a long term plan to become a Slash worker. I want to be a day job / Herbalist. So have some ideas about how to the last part in a much slower timeline. Need to keep the day job but don’t want it to be my only thing but its mostly talk at this point.
Someone asked me this question recently and I had a minor existential crisis.
Judging by what I’ve seen lately: crime and opression to maintain my status because I only understand the world through the lenses of artficial scarcity and zero sum game theory.
This depends. But based on how much I have, one of these:
Open a small bar/tapas place in my neighborhood.
Travel
Do what I do when not working - garden, read, exercise, take care of the land & the animals, go see live music.
Start painting or some shit idk
Art and music.
Science research.
I’d love to keep working and volunteering. I’d still contribute to society and the social network that comes with it, but with none of the burden of having to earn money to survive.
