Making money.
Innovating new outside-the-box stuff, procedures, code, whatever. A robust public domain would happily be my legacy.
No small amount of art too.
making money. a win win really.
Inciting the revolution.
Acting like I suck at things
Nobody’s claimed stock investing yet, I’ll take that one.
Theft.
Potatoes. I would be the best at potatoes.
Picking lottery numbers
Generating world peace.
The world would become a better place, and no one would be able to trace it back to me. I get to live in a warless world and still have my privacy.
A lot of people would argue Jesus did that historically. Or maybe Buddha. Obviously they were famous though.
Jesus made sure EVERYONE knew
Jesus explained a special equilateral triangle shape and its internal geometries, mainly group theory. It has an identity where if you imagine rotating it by 120 degrees, there’s no change in position afterwards. He said there were 3 important things you should know and they were all equal and in a way identical; they perfectly related to each other.
Ah yes… My favorite gospel
It’s the Bible codes, which you might not believe in or care about. To have an idea like that, which people still believed in and would easily spread across the world, he needed to understand about mathematical geometries. To do this, he spent most of his life studying. It was a form of logic he used to say things that were hard to disagree with.
Embezzling money
Sleeping.
nobody could know
Nice try…
Being famous, in order to create a paradox.
It doesn’t create a paradox. It just creates the same situation I’ve been thinking about for 30 years.
If I had any musical talant, I would be “Cheesy McSneezer” and my band would be “Cheesy McSneezer and the Cheesy McSneezer 7”. It’s a death metal jazz lounge band. They create all original music, but nobody knows who Cheesy McSneezer is. You hear him on all the albums, but every time you go to the concerts, the band tells you “Sorry guys, I know you came out for a great show, but Cheesy McSneezer couldn’t be here tonight. So instead, please welcome our one night only temporary lead vocals…(Insert any random well known musician here)”
And every show, the reason why Cheesy couldn’t make it changes, and is always completely absurd. And every album cover is like 100,000 people all coming together for a photo shoot. Somewhere in the photo, Cheesy McSneezer is always on the album art…but it’s never aparent which one he is. And the photos are taken from so far away that you really don’t have any up close visuals to cross reference the other photos with.
So every concert, is technically a famous musician doing cover songs for a guy that nobody knows who he is, but also everybody knows who he is.
If you haven’t seen the movie Frank (2014) I’d recommend it
Based on a true story, unbelievably
Give me something like physics. I’m just damn curious about how clouds form, or how ants can’t be the size of elephants. Back when I took physics courses I felt like I had a better fundamental understanding of the world.
Nowadays I’m busy going in another direction, but a cozy Wikipedia article is always fun to read from time to time.
