At this point, they can have it. They just have to figure out how to upload my consciousness to a computer, load that computer into a von Neumann probe, and fire me off into space. Yes I like the Bobivers series. I'd kick back a few rocks to mine on my way out to pay my way, then take off and start exploring.

In the realm of possibility just give me $10 million so I can invest it and live off the dividends. I'll build a nice three bedroom house and keep to myself and just work on things that actually interest me instead of working to survive. They can have their hellscape utopia, I just want to be left alone.

Fuck that, they can't have that. We are not here to just be the staff for the rich.

I'm glad to see others still have the fight in them. I'm in my 40's, burnt out, no wife or kids to fight for, and my parents are in their late 70's. I spent a lot of my life fighting to make things better and it's only gotten worse faster, I'm tired, I'm burnt out, and I just don't care anymore, I just want to pass the torch to someone who still cares and then live a quiet life.
