🤑 2. What Would You Do With A Billion Dollars? – Substack by Kevin Kelly
When people ask Kevin Kelly for live advice, he gives them this prompt:
“Imagine I am a wizard with a magic wand. I wave it over you and now you have a billion dollars. What would you do with your life? The price of things is no longer material. What do you use the money for?”
What you realize pretty quickly is you can satisfy all your material wants before the billion runs out.
Once that’s done, you’re left with the REAL question:
What do I want to do?
As he points out: “The point of my exercise is that most people’s dreams are not gated by money.”
Read on for his thoughts on what to do about it.
(It’s a short read.)
👹 3. My Ongoing Interest In Hieronymus Bosch Themed Content
I’ve always been drawn to the Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch.
I had a poster of it in my room for many years and it’s just something I always come back to.
The reason I’m telling you this is I’ve recently been enjoying some Garden-themed art and it’s been an interesting rabbit hole.
First, this video game set in the world of the painting:
The trailer looks super cool, hopefully it can live up to the premise.
Second, I’m currently re-reading the book Hollow by B. Catling.
Amazon describes it as, “An epic odyssey following a group of mercenaries hired to deliver a church’s ultimate power-a sacred oracle-as the decadence of carnival gives way to the gravity of lent and the mystic landscape grows ravenous – all set within a Bosch painting.”
Worth checking out if that sounds interesting to you.
