Nearly impossible. My grandfather left me his inheritance which I have invested to live off of the dividends. I make an upper-middle class income off of it.

But it honestly just starts to feel like welfare. You can't actually live well because your life starts to lose a lot of incentives and meaning. You won't bother doing a lot of effort because there is no downside to just dropping whatever you are working on.

It makes you extremely lazy as I spend most of my time on holidays for the last 6 years already and dropped out of my masters. Relationships don't tend to last long as well because the women eventually want to settle down and start a family but you're addicted to the freedom so you won't and the relationship falls apart.

I think it's more healthy to use the incentives you have right now to reach as high as possible. If I never had this inheritance I might have had my MSc or even PhD by now and most likely would have had a better quality of life altogether and maybe could hold a relationship down.

I have no idea how multimillionaires have the ability to actually do any stuff anymore.

>Most Idealistic Aspiration, Unattainable

I want to be immortal. Develop the technology necessary to create clones, transfer consciousness between bodies, bioengineer the perfect human beings, etc. Live for centuries until I transfer my consciousness into a mortal body and live one last lifetime.

>Idealistic Aspiration, Unattainable

I want to experience something that makes me smart enough to preserve my life and live until 200 while healthy. Something like NZT48 from Limitless. I'd cure a few diseases, develop a few treatments, do everything I want without any effort. Retire early, have a lot of kids with a beautiful wife.

>Idealistic Aspiration, Attainable but Difficult

I want to be a surgeon. Develop new procedures and carry out significant research, have a healthy, loving family, have an incredibly high salary, make meaningful connections with friends, patients, peers. Live a long life, have kids with opportunities I never had who all become what they want to be, have a lot of grandkids. Fuck the mother of my children while I'm old and spend time with my grandkids. Die in my sleep knowing it's my last time being awake before I do.

>Ideal Aspiration (Most Realistic)

Be a doctor/surgeon. Do what I can to give my patients a better quality of life. Have enough money where I'm never worried about money. Have kids with a beautiful wife, have good friends.

>Lowest Aspiration

Be financially okay. Have a wife who loves me, and who I can make happy. Have a few kids. Give them a life better than the one I had.

I'm also planning to kill myself in the near future. I realized that all the things I dreamed of achieving are impossible. Due to my lack of intelligence wage slavery until death is the only thing that's offered for me in this life. Why keep living if it's only to please others by being a good worker bee? Hopefully I'll have the courage this time to actually do it.

If Von Neumann survived his cancer but came out of it having lost most of his intellect, would he really want to keep living? If someone told him that now there's no point in trying to focus on intellectual pursuits and to "just get rich dude", would that bring any comfort to him? This would be completely distant from the things that made life worth living to him.
When you force a man to lead a life they don't care about and don't have the capacity to change, suicide seems like the only thing left in your control.

You need to realize that your "wage slavery until death" Is still a better life than 99.9% of humanity ever got.

Hell a fucking welfare recipient in the west has a better life than the biggest of kings in medieval Europe.

They literally sat inside of a stone castle all day with no entertainment except a jester dancing around and fucking yellow teeth women with pox and plague scars on their faces. And that was the richest most powerful guy in medieval europe (Charlemagne)

Just look back 100 years ago and you'd be working 14 hours a day in a factory just to buy the absolute necessities in life.

Now you barely work 8 hours a day at fucking walmart and you can sustain your basic needs + one holiday a year + consumer goods. And your life is literally better than 90% of even the elite in third world countries and better than 99.99% of humans that have ever lived.

Yet you say that this 00.001% privileged life you can live right now is STILL not good enough because it's not the absolute best that is possible in 2019? That is some legitimate loser shit. Maybe you should kill yourself.

[Anonymous No.10408099]

This has nothing to do with anon's post. It's ridiculous to claim that because of technological progress a person should never feel depressed.

Maybe because there's more to the question that just pointing out "Stop feeling depressed that you work at walmart, go play with your smartphone"

>What are your goals in life?
To increase the order of this board (and /g/) and eventually mobilize and turn it into an AI cult where most of the posters try to solve problems related to AI and ML instead of wasting their energy on shitposting. The difference between this shithole and places like reddit, stack exchange and other similar forums is that they are browsed by normal people who have jobs and only spend an hour or two on them, whereas this place is mainly inhabited by NEETs who shit it up for 16 hours a day. In addition to that, NEETs are starved for purpose while normal people aren't, and this will be like the religion that fills up the void for them so they'll invest their entire existence into it, but only if executed flawlessly with enough conviction. As of how exactly would that happen, I don't really have a plan as of right now, but will most likely have one and apply it right away by 2020/21

This post is entirely unironical btw

My point was more that if you aren't going to be happy with what your life is right now then you're never going to be happy at all. Even if you become the richest person and most accomplished person on the planet with a perfect wife and kids. Because that life isn't significantly different from what you have as a low-class first world citizen. Sure you might have access to slightly more consumer goods and services but it's just a slight upgrade compared to something like a medieval king to a 21st century citizen which is a massive improvement.

People that are depressed/unhappy now need to find professional help. Thinking that getting a girlfriend/good job/wealth or whatever is going to fix your mentality is very unhealthy and most importantly straight up untrue.

My most delusional goal is to create full dive VR, but because I'm a 23 year old NEET HS dropout and haven't been to school in 7 years and my education is entirely self-study I don't really have much knowledge beyond Khan Academy, Youtube and the books recommended on the /sci/ wiki (not the one in sticky).

That still doesn't stop me from reading biology books and reading stuff on neurostimulation.

I also read up on stuff related to genetic engineering because I want an easy to edit plants, so easy that it would be possible to have someone type out specifications on a site and being able to send them the seeds for that plant and having all the modification work done automatically.

No LARP'ing.
I want to advance us on the next stage of genetic understanding, which I think will be the transfer of perception of genetics as a base code to a perception of genetics as individual systems. This I hope will allow us to make the study of genetic alteration much, much simpler and make it even more of a hobby than people have already taken it.

Currently doing a Bioscience degree with that goal in mind.
