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.

Do so much more with horses Video games Art

Golf. So much golf.

Someone asked me this question recently and I had a minor existential crisis.

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.

Start painting or some shit idk

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.

Art and music.

Science research.

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.

I’d travel, try new cuisine, and I’d also pick up jobs for short stints to pick up skills, almost like journeyman apprentice, I’d also do some kind of social work, and go back to academia with the intent to actually learn and not just to get a degree and get a job, but to potentially do some actual research and development

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.

I teach philosophy for a living these days.

I’d probably keep doing that, but less of it.

I’d also do a lot of writing.

Today being labor day I would go down to the protest downtown, instead I’m going to the office to do as little work as I can manage, maybe have a couple meetings to slow other people down today too
