    Garden! Big garden! With trees! Figs tree, cherry tree, plum tree, apple tree, walnut tree, more trees idk. Then I can have people over to eat the surplus produce, and when I’m too old to pick any myself they can be the ones to pick them and share some with me.

    Aside from the make-the-world-a-better-place stuff, I’ve always wanted to have the space/time to make my own holograms.

    I have this idea for claymation+lasers+holograms to make little stop motion films, but as holograms.

    I don’t know if it’s possible, but if like to play with the tech and find out

    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.

    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.

    Provide food, housing, clothing, and other essentials to the people for free. Help them set up their own system of mutual support and solidarity. Make money irrelevant.

    I would divest the world from fossil fuels, fund carbon capture. Build housing and mass transit like mad. Feed everyone who needs it, make education and healthcare human rights.

    Basically star trek.

      make education and healthcare human rights.

      They are already. Just not respected in the same way everywhere.

    Lots of bad things to lots of bad people. To quote the Count of Monte Cristo: “I will surely use it for revenge.”

    If money were no object, I would build a reusable-glass network and force Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, etc. to start a global glass shipping program to take customer-returned glass products (like after you use up all the vinegar, mayonnaise, etc. in your glass jars, etc.) and get them back into the production factories for reuse. All containers would follow standardized sizes (several dozen classifications) to make reuse easy.
