If you was less than 50 years old, and didn't need to work, was a bit of an outlier, like, fucking odd. What would you do with your time? Any crazy business ideas? A hermit maybe🤷🏻♂️, bit 17th century though. Any ideas?..... Asking for a friend🙏🏻.
#Asknostr.
That's me. Personally, I'm going to be spending more and more time on trying to understand and build a device that will upend the control of energy production. I may never figure it out, but I'll never know until I try. Many things seem like a huge waste of time now if they aren't likely to have a meaningful contribution to the world.
Otherwise, do something that fulfills you or others.
I've read a few of your notes and I obviously enjoy your content. That is a bold, bold undertaking. I wish you the very best of luck and more genuinely, despite all those, who have failed, I hope you fucking crack it, man🙏🏻.
Travel everywhere.
I've done shit loads of travelling my friend. I've not long got back from The Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. I've been all over the world. I was supposed to be away for 9 months. I managed about 6 weeks as I was missing my dog and "Proper" food🤷🏻♂️😂.
I understand missing the dog. I have two and I always hate leaving them behind.
I went to Indonesia last year for a week and was sick the almost the whole time.
I feel live is to short and there is so much I haven't seen.
Good travelling man🙏🏻. I've genuinely seen most parts of the world that I want to see, save a few parts of South America. My dog is 12 now and she has a few problems, health wise, so I'm gonna he home till she is no longer with us. Could be 6 months, could be 12 or 18 but 24 would be great, we'll see🤷🏻♂️.
Start up a mini bitcoin/nostr dev fund ala opensats
I might be less than 50 and not need to work but i don't have "Jack" levels of wealth😳😂, otherwise, I would🙏🏻.
Maybe I'd try Try and let go of the voice that demands you be productive or move the needle in any particular endeavor and do whatever thing pulls you towards it. Just heard something along those lines recently and it made a lot of sense to me
That actually made me laugh reading that, YODL. I know you don't know me but my problem, is exactly what you describe. I don't HAVE to work, because I don't, in my mind, I don't HAVE to do fuck all. So I don't. I read, I walk my dog, I watch sport on TV. That's it. Other than that, I just sit around, overthinking EVERYTHING😏. It's driving me round the fucking bend😂😂.
That doesn't sound bad at all. You also make music that's pretty good, from the bit I've heard/inferred.
But yeah, I can see where you're coming from.
Cliche of doing something active, working out or play some sport comes to mind. I saw you already did travel.
Maybe write something? You must have some experience or ideas worth putting out there, or at least worth refining through the process of drafting something 😅
You could get into nerdy tabletop games like warhammer...
Learn to woodwork, or sculpt lol
Garden!
Endless possibilities
I do have my music/Techno so I might throw myself into that a bit more. There's a guy who I met at a music festival once, he was incredibly clever, but MAD as fuck, he took A LOT of drugs in his time, as have I. We got on like a house on fire. I've been down to visit him and his wife a few times. Other than that, we just keep in touch with periodic emails, our writing style is very similar, we just chat utter random shit on our emails in a very odd and fractious way. He's commented that my writing style should reach a wider audience (I've never written, anything, in my whole life) but he compared it to a William S Burroughs or Huntter S Thompson type of style😂😂.
Make something cool and give it away.
Keep doing different things until someone say the’ll pay you for more of it. Then start a business?
I "Might" start a business in the next few years, just out of boredom. I don't have any discernable skills, though. Despite getting to where I am, at the age I am, it's all through just being a fucking odd ball risk taker🤷🏻♂️😂.
What kind of business are you thinking of getting into?
Well, as i say, i have no discernable skills, so I've no idea🤷🏻♂️. It's hard to explain really. For the past 5 or so years, I've always had this seed in my head that, i want to be in a position that I don't want to have to work anymore. Now that I'm here, I'm like. OK, I've done that. What now🤷🏻♂️. I have worked most of my life in the chemical industry. I can't very well just start a new chemical plant because they're incredibly expensive to get running and I don't particularly want to work in that industry any more.
When can you do with chemicals and techno music? 😅
Didn't you say you email your music friend, and now I learn you worked in chemicals. Start a band and call it chemical brothers, yw
(I was told once they actually did collaborate remotely before that was even convenient, I could be wrong though, figured you'd set me straight if I'm mistaken)
My mates mate is good friends with Ed who is one of Ed and Tom (Who were The Chemical Brothers)😬😎.
Well, i don't code, so that's out🤷🏻♂️. Other than that, i have, and do spend hours and hours, making my music. It's very niche though, #Techno. I kind of give that away for free.
You won the lottery, didn't you?
I was in the pub earlier and someone said the same thing😂. Nope, I'm just a fucking odd ball who's taken a lot of risks in life🤷🏻♂️.
I take it back, it was distasteful in this case. 😅
Not sure what's the age limit got to do with pursuing a dream. 👀
No, no. No offence taken🙏🏻. I'm in a very fortunate position but I've taken a lot of risk to get here. That's what mild autism does for you😬. I just make a little bit of #Techno now, and read, a lot, and walk my dog🤝🏻.
Yeah, in this case get a hobby. It's a fortunate position so you'll be free to pursue anything you want. Also, don't make bitcoin songs if possible. 🙏🏻
I did make one called "Fuck The System" with the lyrics. "We code, to fuck the system", so that's kind of 50% there🤷🏻♂️😂.
Listen to Fuck The System. by Genesis Block on #SoundCloud
Maybe mix them together 🤭
https://m.soundcloud.com/system-of-a-down-official/f-k-the-system-explicit
I'll have a listen!
Also, set up a LN wallet ffs. Don't make me tag the Klingon Empire!
Just set up my LN now. Didn't really want to have one on my new npub, but I did set one up briefly to zap a fellow #Techno Producer 50k sats😬😂.
Nice! If I'd had 50k to spare I'd get a second wife.
Get yourself to The Far East, I've not long got back from there🙏🏻.
I'm a god over there already. Not Thailand tho, only real Asia. 🤭🐸
I was in The Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam recently, on my little tour🙋🏻♂️.
I really wanted to see Ankor Wat and a few other things around there.
That was my intention, but I was home sick, I was missing my dog and I was missing "Proper food", I'm a very fussy eater and I eat next to fuck all anyway. Out there, I was eating even less. With all the drinking I do, not a good mix😬😂. Will take in the Cambodian ruins next time I'm out there🙏🏻.
Definitely, it's amazing over there. The fact that is 108 degrees apart from Giza tells a lot.
I needed a few days to adjust to their food and everything. Avoid ice cubes over there. Have small $ bills at hand anytime.
The HOTTEST place, I have ever been, was Egypt. It was UNBELIEVABLY hot. I'm not a lover of the sun, at all. I'm whiter than white😬😂.
I'm whiter than feta cheese... Sometimes the Sun is good to me, other times it fucks me up.
Same🙏🏻. My first week in The Philippines, I went snorkeling, it was amazing, loads of colourful fish, but having my white ass back, exposed to the sun, floating on top of the sea right there🤷🏻♂️. Nope. Burnt to fuck☹️😂. I don't mind "A bit of sun", but as long as I can get myself into the shade whenever I want, I'm all good👌🏻.
Yeah, same here. I respect the Sun. ☝🏻🐸
You sound like you could be decent company.
Ha ha, that might be so. I ain't being your girlfriend though, unless you're a pretty bisexual girl who wants me to join you and your other pretty gf🤷🏻♂️. I'm thinking, it's doubtful, though😂😂.
