Imma be honest I have no idea. I might legit just sit here and be a leech on society playing video games and watching shows. But I'd like to imagine I would go back to school and try and do freelance repair/maintenance for various things. I just honestly don't know if I'd do enough to consider it a fair contribution to society.
I'd hang out and enjoy the fruits of other people's time being sold. Pretty hard to think of a hobby that wouldn't cover.
I'm an intellectually overqualified filmmaker surrounded by anti-intellectuals (I routinely get made fun of for being interested in technical stuff)....and right now, I am on workman's comp with a broken foot. So: exactly what I am doing right now is exactly what I would want to be doing.
What's that?
Hanging out with my daughter in my lab,
Learning
- Haskell/Plutus
- Purescript
- using Nix to glue them together
- hacking an espresso machine (either with a RISC_V Lychee Pi or an ESP32...haven't decided yet).
Practicing:
- guitar
Blazing:
- chronic
Everyone thinks they're smarter than the idiots around them. Most are wrong.
In my case, whether I’m wrong or not, they actively discourage me from using my brain.
I would do loads of degrees. History, English, Psychology, Politics, Spanish, etc. Having the brain space to focus on learning would be amazing. I did my masters part time while working full time and it was a nightmare. Glad I did it but I couldn't do my best as I was bogged down in work stuff.
I would also like to learn more languages. I do a bit of Spanish and Danish when I can but I rarely have the mental energy after work.
Travel too. Maybe write a book.
I'd love to spend more time planting trees. I volunteer to do it occasionally on weekends but I really love the process of going from sprout to seedling to planted. I just wish I could do more of it.
I would, in no certain order:
- Work at a coffee shop part time making coffee for people. Preferably a locally owned shop, but it wouldn't matter too much if not.
- Work as a bartender similarly as above
- Potentially garden if I have the time and interest for it
- Create more YouTube videos
- Write, record, and release more music
- Learn to paint
- Get a film camera and take photos with it
- Contribute to FLOSS projects
- Finally make that D&D table that doubles as a dining table that I've been wanting to make for a few months now
- Actually follow through on learning my several languages I'm working on learning
- Become an interpreter (probably in ASL)
- Develop video games
- Create more art in general
- Do research on how art and society mingle together and interact
What would you when you get in this undefined yet not capitalist utopia and are forced to work long hours at a job you didn't choose to help further the cause of the revolution?
I would make video games. I'd even do some adult ones, since I've noticed the existing ones aren't super great.
