I don't think I'd ever leave the makerspace.
I would become an author and write plenty of fiction, poems, short stories. I might also get into game development. And if time permits, I would even pick up on astronomy.
Peter Gibbons: I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.
Lawrence: Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man.
Still work but at a reduced rate and else I would actually think about volunteering or improving my living conditions like a garden or tech at gome :)
Exactly what I am already doing. imagineering my top rated VR Theme Park and explore SE Asia and other parts of the world. Love both.
Haha I like to be silly at work sometimes after I’ve already paid the big monthly expenses. I say, “I’m here to do two things help kids and pay bills, and I’m all outta bills.” I would continue to work in my field on a part time basis. Then I would make time for a few doctor appointments and start going to therapy again. I’d walk my dog at different parks more often. Hopefully id make more time with my friends and family assuming they have the same deal. I would want to be more involved with my community too.
You know those people who restore old machinery and equipment? Locomotives, historic warships, industrial sites and so on? I'd absolutely be dedicating my day to that. There's something so satisfying about seeing that old stuff work, but they're always chronically understaffed and struggling to keep up with everything.
Oh, and write a novel.
Exercise to get healthy and work on my garden, to start. Then I'd handle any necessary projects for my home. Then I'd find causes to support by volunteering.
Metal, leather and wood working. Bee keeping and running a little shop
Go into teaching. I love to assist others in their learning voyage, I love science, research, classes. However, financial realities mean that I would be starving if I pursued that path. So I find fulfillment in adjacent activities in my current line of work. I would also have an electronics workshop, repairing computers and other electronics for fun.
Without joking, most likely I would watch more Lemmy.
Would study and do arts and use our findings and research to help improve the world in some kind of way, even if its a little.
I would walk my dog, lift weights, study foreign languages, help my community
Join a 3rd band, I guess.
I would build affordable housing.
Read a lot of books. Swim. Go for coffee anytime I could with friends. Volunteer. Sit and stare out the window at the rain. Foster parenting.
I'd spend more time playing guitar and chess and spend more time with my son.
I'd design and build useful things
I'd make things like drones or robots or something.
Travel, meet with friends, play video games, watch some movies.
Make music, perform music, make games, make movies, write small books and maybe draw pictures.
And then I would try out being a research attorney, being an EMT, a pilot, maybe working with NASA at some point and working for some government agency specializing in digital warfare.
People always assume if you had everything you would just sit at home and be lazy and never try anything. But from my experience you don't do that shit just because you're complacent, you do it because either you are way too stressed out to try out new stuff or you are in the middle of a depressive episode. Almost all people I know wouldn't be able to be lazy for more than 2 weeks, they would start making something.
A) mental health would absolutely improve so I'd have more energy for
B) producing more shows and putting on more events. Personally I don't want to retire because I want to create a career where if I did retire I'd just do what I was doing anyway. I'm kinda doing that now but I have more BS and stress to deal with.
Make video games or digital interactive art pieces for VR
I'd be one of those old school naturalists and just, like, go live in a swamp for three years with one pair of clothes, a cot, a journal, and a pencil.
Sounds like it would have to be free or low cost hobby. So probably I'd go hiking, and camping while reading books and making coffee with my aeropress
Basically yurucamp. A nice cosy anime. You should watch it
If there's somehow a way in this utopia scenario to also maintain a moped like a Honda supercub or vespa, add that as well as I cruise around between hiking and camp sites
Yes I can do that right now but you know how it is what it is
Build things, well, until I get tired of it. The ADHD is strong and I hate fine finish work.
I'd dive fully into circuitboard electronics
A podcast about the pre-columbian Americas which in all honesty would be a Hardcore History knockoff.
Also my research but with less bs
Produce documentaries all the fucking time
Write, travel
write music and go fishing
Study more JiuJitsu and physiotherapy for poor people.
Make my pottery, dive deeper into woodworking, and learn permaculture farming.
