What do you really want to do?
Just out of curiosity, what is it you guys would actually really want to do?
Imagine you had every aspect of your life taken care of and you didn't have to do anything, virtually every moment of your time could be spent doing whatever you wanted to. What would your life look like?

I think my life would be pretty similar to the way it is now; but I would definitely change the scenery a bit. I'd like to be able to live in a cabin in the woods, by a small lake or pond, with a small boat; and with modern conveniences like electricity and the internet being available too, of course. lol
Occasional visits from an adoring female or two would be nice. :-)
But anyway, ever since I first read Walden by Henry David Thoreau I've been fascinated with the idea of isolating myself from society and becoming a sort-of controversial philosopher. I'd be happy just spending most of my time learning, writing, and teaching - basically what I do now. Trying to challenge the way people think whenever I can; and maybe play a small part in making the world a better place for future generations.
I could also start a religious commune with the forest squirrels. I could be their God; and they could worship me on my porch while I fed them nuts. I think it would be nice to be a God. :-)

- Parkour. Archery.
-Art
-Travel around the world. Explore marine environments. Study animal behavior. Observe other cultures around the world.
- hang out with astrophysicists. Get together with extremely bright people to make futuristic hoverboards, engineer efficient and safe global transport systems (that don't run over animals), self-sustainable "intelligent" buildings that interact in symbiosis with the environment, and upgrade renewable energy systems.
- Create emergency organizations to help starving people in other countries. Make the world my home.
- and of course...play some GAIMZ
It's hard to think of what to do with that kind of freedom because a lot of us are not used to it. If today I suddenly had that much freedom, I'd be at a loss at what to do with myself at first. But I think after getting used to it for a while, I'd be out of the house too busy to stay home.

Start a self sustaining society. With open minded people. Helping one another, having a family without having to overpopulate the world some more.
Somewhere in nature. And have a guesthouse so people who do have to work for their money can experience the other way of living life.
I hope i will be able to make this dream come true even if i have to work a 9-5 job besides it.
