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?

If I understood the question correctly, I'd say I'd give it my best shot trying to promote SDA to everyone in the world. My very biggest dream is a world where every individual on the planet is at a somewhat happy/peaceful state of mind, aware of the world around them and themselves. Capable of taking interest and action into steering the course of our species..
To simplify it, my biggest dream is a world where we all work together for a better future for our species instead of just playing king of the hill. And I honestly believe SDA is the first step towards that dream of mine. Being that someone who is an SDA has the potential and most likely will execute that potential of inspiring others to pick up SDA aswell, I can easily imagine it spreading through the masses over time. Like religions has done for so many years.
If that goal ever had been achieved within my lifetime and I virtually had absolutely nothing else to do then make time pass.. I'd invite my closest circle on an adventure around the world, visiting all its corners while doing stuff such as skydiving, basejumping, smoke a jay n get high in a no-gravity environment "which is my second biggest dream^^," go deepsea diving etc

I am already doing what I want, not fulltime though. Study many topics, health, history, economics, philosophy, psychology, changing focus to whatever topic really catches my attention at the time.
I would also be lerning how to dance, like I am doing right now, so I wouldn't change too much, maybe I would spend more money on eating healthy, going to street markets to buy my food, instead of discount markets, because I would have the time to do so. Oh well, on another thought, would it only be me? Or are in this hypothetical world all others with the same benefits.
Actually my wide range of interests would need more than one lifetime...

I actually have no clue.
I'm too single-minded to think about stuff like that, step for step..

There are so many things that could be possibly done. Thinking about it id probably aspire to accualy get a job. Yea even though all aspects of life would be taken care of id still want a job. Probably working for somthing i love, like japanese culture or video games. I would also do other things that where important, like activism. But accualy looking at my nature o f doing things id end up lazzing around for acouple months before i took any action.

I would colonize Mars, help people get better with people, distribute technology in order to improve people's lives accross the planet, distribute medicine and knowledge on how to improve lives through green technology, and ecological farming.

I think I would spend some more time every day working out, maybe become a writer or do some kind of web design because I get bored really soon if I don't work or do something. Usually when I have some days off I try to keep myself busy, but after 2-3 days I just can't stay at home or on vacation anymore, and those jobs would probably give me the right amount of free time I need.

1. Not do anything different that I'm doing now maybe cause things are not so bad.
2. Wake up every day, go to a lonely beach and listen either the water or some cool music.
3. Move to the highest tech place in the world.

Of course it depends what the situation really is, if I am a King who let's say ruled the world. It's hard to answer that question, because it lack's needed ''data'' to help define it. But what ever life it would be, I think it would be borring, and it would lack something, something which could define me as a human being, but couldnt live up to.
