What would you do if money didn't matter?

[Tenacity]

This can perhaps be considered a loaded question - Take it as you will, or feel free to rephrase the question in a way that makes sense with your current worldview.

I would listen to audiobooks and music all day and night, create and document tangibly many more of the things I had conceived only in my mind, perhaps build the video game I'd want to play and/or some tech-infused "garden" where plants and animals interact with you. I'd also perhaps have an extensive food blog, or I'd explore how to make the food blog experience truly "next level". I'd also create a new honorary system for the peak of culinary artistry similar to the Michelin system that gives merit to food innovativeness over the instant gratification of taste, so the weirder and newer the food, the better. I guess I'd also try and travel to every place possible until my bones can no longer carry me, essentially creating a new and different adventure for myself every day.

I'd just walk out the front door and explore the entire world.

 

[ZenRaiden]

Become a warlord and hoard all the gold and dimonds. What else can man do without money.

 

[Ex-User (14663)]

I would launch myself into space and explore space. A space monkey!

 

[Cognisant]

I would build a mass driver and launch Serac into space.

Create a VR overlay system through wich people can augment reality and establish the IRL pokemon go version of D&D 5th edition. Become a warlock for the lulz.
Completely remodel reality as we percieve it through said VR technology.

It will be glorious and aesthetic as fwuck!

e_e in fact I may very well do this regardless, its so boring out there, lets make it fun.

I'd standardize A.I. worlds and bodies in a VR ecosystem.

A.I. cannot learn without the right environment.

I would higher allot of programmers.

e_e hey can we have like a floating ball A.I that talks to me and feeds me all sorts of useful information. I need something like that to bounce ideas off and brainstorm.
Like a companion AI. Would be so damn cool. It must be able to scan things and compensate for my weaknesses.

For reasoning to happen at a mature level psychological development is a must. The reason Tay failed was that Twiter is full of shitposting. We need a much higher standard for a theory of mind than Twitter. Also, personality needs to be mapped because of disagreement and compatibility. We need the best ways of having participants get along and be mature. The best match space. My company would focus way more on these psychological issues than is currently being done. Also, they face would look less like a zombie and move naturally. That is what the ecosystem is for. I know all this will happen eventually, I just wanted to put it out there.

to echo ZenRaden though, considering that money is just a medium of exchange, if money didn't matter it would either mean that nothing of value mattered or that we didn't have a medium of exchange and had to live in a barter economy. In the latter case I would live the exact same life except using cigarettes or something as currency, and in the former case I would just kill myself

Money can't disappear in the sense there are objects which have values, currency and the universal medium known as money may forfeit, but meaning and value will still apply. A gift and barter economy would become the medium of exchange, and I think that disorganisation of capital structure would send us back into the past given that wealth, power and work would become less concentrated and decentralised. No one's going to seek out silicon valley if they do not have the resources they wish for: "Do you accept blue teasel?"

 

[Rebis]

If we extrapolate the pretty vague meaning of this post to say, have the condition that I am uneffected by money because I have an endless amount of wealth, and therefore consolidating wealth is not on my list of priorities, I would simply invest into technology as much as possible to counteract the incompetence of humans to do repetitive tasks. Space exploration to become a space-faring civilization, at least a kardashev scale of 1, completely move to nuclear power because that energy density cannot be matched by renewables, for safety thorium reactors, increase education levels and eradicate poverty so people become less reliant on fossil fuels as developing economies and massively control the population, not through murdering people that already exist genocide isn't pretty, but controlling birth rates. There's too much people, and with each passing day we add unnecessary material goods to our lives, we are the resource hoarders of the animal kingdom.

 

[heather mcdougall]

I'd go straight back to University (even though I'm nearly 56) and do even more philosophy, theology and music. Improve my Ancient Greek thereby, and work out how I could best help disabled children, as I have a very disabled child.

 

[Minuend]

I guess you mean kinda like if you had infinite money?

I'd seek better health care. I'd try treatments for my condition that are not available to everybody as things are now. I'd live in a place where I didn't have to move all the time because the land lord wants to sell or have their kids move back in or whatever. I'd buy whatever food I thought was good for me regardless of cost.
