Reinvent academia and make quality learning accessible to all at all times with free infrastructure. Not only it would be the most fun challenge to solve but it also would keep me occupied for years. Also probably L the biggest positive impact one person could have.

Mmm...

First thought, and admittedly half baked and very Neil Breen-ish but I just wanted to play along: maybe go semi-Ozymandias and invest in the largest PMC ever, having even aircraft carriers and ICBMs, backed by technological giants like Microsoft and Space X, but chip them all with some sort of kill switch (that immediately explodes if you try taking it out), and slowly but surely destroy Western/imperialistic military forces around the world, starting with their involvement in the global South. They'd be extremely well compensated, so the mercenaries from opposing militaries would join too. Eventually, take this force to the mainland and, after giving them a period of grace for them to come clean and accept their incarceration/fines willingly, take out all the bankers, corrupt politicians, immoral heads of businesses and shareholders, etc etc (including, of course, Microsoft and SpaceX, lol). The police force, stupid defenders of our slavers, would also be given a warning and asked to stay home or join, before getting rolled over by the chipped PMC. After the military forces of the enemies of humanity are depleted, and the people once again feel like they have their destinies in their hands, establish a new era of unironic God-fearing commie love and peace, without the moral relativism, consumerism and hedonism of yesterday. And, foundationally for these new societies, abolish interest. Finally, move this PMC to some remote island and establish a community there (PTSD is a bitch and I don't want veterans going "First Blood" everywhere), one that is materially comfortable and allows them to have some semblance of normality after shedding so much blood (necessary, but still traumatizing).

Second idea: buy all media and news companies and change their entire modus operandi by reporting only facts, with narratives based on morality, and flood minds with the right ideas (Solomonic post-nihilism [seriously, read Ecclesiastes], Jesus' love for others instead of self, Qur'anic verses, but also the forgotten Western wisdoms like Socratic and Humian epistemology, Kantian morality, Wittgenstein... to ease those who have been hurt/disappointed by organized religion and are beasts of propaganda and entertainment into good thoughts [you can't just go 0-100 the same way an alcoholic cannot go from a daily bottle of vodka to nothing]).

I think my second idea is better but I feel I'd just get taken out before making any major change, lol.

Large scale: create or take over companies and make them align with my values (good employment conditions & good products basically). Then delegate that work.
I would try to earn money so i dont have to care about my investor/s and ensure i dont crash the economy too much.
After taking enough economy control pressure politics and other firms to follow my values.

Low scale: currently i hyperfocus on custom keyboards (absolute noob btw) and thought about creating my own with sliders on the side and knobs and F keys that go beyond 12 and more fancy things

Contribute to open source more. Currently work dictates the projects I work on, but would love to have passion be the only thing guiding me.

Yeah the other commentors have a point, but after all the lord's work is said and done, I'm fucking making video games and nobody can stop me.

Buy the USA and sell it for scrap, like a venture capitalist.

Producing Broadway shows. The whole process of workshopping a theatrical production just seems like such an interesting - and communal - art form.

Infinite dollars... mass produced eco sustainable housing options using primarily locally sourced resources and talent. Something like putting together a 'franchise' of prefab home mfg centres that I could deploy into a community/future community site, to build houses for that area. If I didn't have infinite dollars, I'd aim to sell them in a more co-operative model mindset, where profit is not the driving force -- aiming to basically balance operating expense and income so that net the business makes about 2%-4% per annum.

By eco sustainable, I'd aim to have them be off-grid oriented, with solar panels and storage batteries by default. Heat pump ready. Made of materials that are less prone to burning (likely metal outer envelope, but I'd trust the engineers). Designed for easy maintenance of key components like water lines. Bathrooms that can convert into hang-drying spaces for laundry, as well as intended out-door spaces for laundry and either a small garden area or a greenhouse module that people could add on. Kitchens designed with dish drying racks to float above sink areas for easier cleanup. Drains in the main floor area of bathrooms to allow for quick rinsing of that area when needed, and to function as drainage overflow protection. Mostly single floor to make earthquake resilience easier as well as things like roof maintenance cheaper.. Any multi-story/multi-unit setup would aim for the same general goals. Likely handle designs similarly to current prefab shops, where there's a handful of premade ones to pick from.

Immortality via simulation

Free education

Lobby against any billionaire interests.

I wanna be a pilot because like... I mean... people from thousands of years ago wanted to soar the skies, and actually being able to do that is just awesome.

I'll probably get bored of planes and want some jetpacks to just hops around on topnof buildings like some superhero lol

Probably build a floating island where my castle gets build on, and that's my seat of power from where I'd reign as a benevolent dictator of the entire world!

Of course, I'll need a lot of mass surveillence because the people can't be trusted to behave. I'll need a lot of personal guards, secret police to make sure y'all don't rebel against me. I'll need immortalily unlocked immediately.

I'll share the immortality with everyone, but I'll have the world's only anti-immortality sniper rifle to make sure problematic people can be "taken care of" 😉

But then again, why do I need to be benevolent, I'm a living god.

Hmm... I'm bored... PURGE DAY, turn off the imortality for the lulz /kidding (the immortality is still on, I just told everyone that so y'all can panic, cuz that's fun to watch)

But I will enact a law that a portrait of me will be mandatory in every house. That's not too much of an ask is it?

And the official food will be pineapple pizza.

The official "best house in the world" award will be my castle, always, and forever. The "best person in the world" award always goes to be, every year.

Free food, water, housing, esential needs for everyone. But you must say a prayer before every meal and ackowledge me as the one true god. I've have hidden camera everywhere and I'll be watching.

Also, only I am allowed to have my floating island, everyone else can only live on the ground.

Any lawbreakers get sent to one tiny island all by themselves for 100 years (remember, you do not die of old age, everyone has immortality remember), you can only eat food you hate the most, play the games you hate most, watch tv shows that make you cringe.

Oh, if you are a nazi, you get sent to a state-of-the-art simulator that put you in WW2 and you are a nazi soldier during the invasion of normandy, you get stuck in the simulation for 200 years, dying over and over on normandy beach, and maybe then you'll really get to enjoy what you love, being on the wrong side of history lolz

TLDR: Big Floaty Castle for me, nobody else get a Big Floaty Castle. Eveyone is immortal. Everything is free. But you have to worship me as a god or you get sent to an island for 100 years all by yourself as punishment. nazis get stuck in a WW2 simulator on Normandy beach for 200 years, dying over and over.

I’d love to pursue iOS development.

I have a multi-point plan to eliminate homelessness but it would take a few billion to get it going.

1. Establish and fully staff a medical facility, including psychiatric and addiction treatment, including facilities for long term/permanent care where necessary.

2. Establish and fully staff a facility for job seekers, including full skill training, resume assistance, interview assistance, transportation, wardrobe/cleaning, address/mailbox, identification, email/phone access, etc.

#2 also needs specialized staff on hand for those with criminal records.

3. Establish and fully staff a facility for housing assistance, applications, deposit assistance, food assistance, etc. As with #2, there needs to be specialized staff for those with criminal records.

4. Funding for public defenders, courts, and prisons. This is actually a huge problem right now, a lack of public defenders for people who cannot afford representation.

Then you sweep the streets, collect everyone up and figure out where they go.

Medical treatment for those who need it, housing assistance for those employed but homeless, employment assistance for those fit to work but aren't, and the legal system for everyone with outstanding warrants or other criminal behavior.

Ideally you move someone from #1 to #2 to #3 and completely avoid #4.

For the minority who are fit, able, and homeless by choice, because "I AINT PART OF YOUR SYSTEM, MAAAAAN!" Offer them a place to live in return for cleaning up homeless camps and wilderness areas damaged by homeless camps.

Feed and house the human race, usher my species into the next evolutionary stage of our post scarcity society

Take a large country, like Canada. Promote some truly leftist politicians (and not just solid centrists like the NDP) to see if the country can go left on political merit alone.

Then, if that happens, move to a minimalist socialist state using UBI and degrowth policies. Nationalize any truly inelastic needs - healthcare, education, utilities, mass transportation, Vienna-style social housing, the like.

Go with a hands-off policy for anything else - including corporate welfare. Loans for small businesses, yes, but a complete and abrupt end to corporate hand-outs of any kind. If a company cannot compete, it should be allowed to collapse no matter how big it is.

In the end, the only government left would be institutions to nurture the people, maintain their safety and rights, protect the country, uphold laws, redistribute wealth, and preserve the environment.

You folks are awesome! Housing, Democracy, fuck yeah!

I'd just clockwork orange the Nazis.
