Anything...

[an anarchist]

Honestly, I just want a fat carne asada burrito. Nothing in it but meat. Just a fat ol meat sack. I don't want to start thinking what I truly desire because then I might get sad at it's unavailability. So my imagination settles for a burrito.
In fact I think I'm gonna get myself one of them burritos today on my way home [^:

If you could do anything today, and just today, what would it be?

There are no limits here, only that it must be done today. Tomorrow(we'll say at sunrise, for detail's sake) you will go back to your normal life, in its typical place.

Moonwalk on the Moon?

Pop over the Atlantic puddle

and give you a


Hopefully that wouldn't squeeze a fart out.

I would want to take a pill that is going to cause me to have a permanent trip where a spirit who knows how to best use me to end suffering, misery, injustice, and waste no time, that spirit entity controls me 24/7 like a robot, where I lose free will, from a drug trip that permanently fries my brain into a state where I cease to think with it, and someone else simply controls it without me having free will.

Better to not have free will, if it causes one to be foolish and waste time, or do things that bother others. I would rather be a slave with a good master telling me what to do.

Nobody wants to be a slave, but if losing your freedom is going to save you from a far worse agony, (by permitting an extremely wise , wealthy master giving orders that you need because you don't have what it takes to be responsible and independant), why reject such an opportunity?

And the owner is also concerned about the happiness of his/her slave, like a person who wants their dog really happy. I think being owned and not having free will, is the best thing for me, and the people around me benefit more by someone who knows what I should do to grant others the most benefit from my words and actions.

I am sorry to hear that friend. I think you are perfectly capable of making wise decisions.

fly. I would choose to fly for one day.

Well, if everyone would be back to normal by tomorrow, then I'd say fly me inside of a black hole. It would be cool to see what's going on in there.

Arrange for my father to die. He's nearly 95 and in a nursing home, where he has been content until a couple of weeks ago but now he's run out of will to continue and has told everyone it's time. He's stopped eating and now even drinking. Now he's in bed semi-conscious, being given morphine and sedative every 4 hrs. His flesh is shrivelling away, so that his bones become more and more prominent, and he's nearly gone. He's turning into a skeleton. But, poor fellow, he has a strong constitution, which for the first time in his life he must be cursing. He has wrung out every drop of existence in that nursing home, but now the sponge is dry and he wants to get it over with. I think he will only last a day or two more, but it would be nice, for him and for his five sons, if we could just stop it all right now. He's not really in much pain, but when he's conscious he is in some discomfort and it is clear he is frustrated to be still here. It would be a relief for him, and for us, if he could be spared any more of this waiting.

Honestly, whatever I could to help a few people. Not everyone, just a few.

I'd find out about the makeup of the interior of the planet, how its magnetic field works and how to model and predict both the field and the movement of the mantle. Then next day I'd start working on publications and bidding for funding.

Bah. The inner earth works like any other electromagnet.

There are pockets of solid stone within the liquid mantle, rotating around an iron core, this generating an electrical current.

Of course I have no science to back this. Just best guesses.

[JustGeorge]

I'll go to Russia, and just before my time is over, I'll sprint up to Putin where he's having a public speech and pull his pants down.

What will you do in Russia before that fateful moment?

I hope that gets recorded...

Since time travel is allowed, I'd spend the rest of the day at my computer but a month in the future.

Doing anything in particular?

JustGeorge, what would you do?

Find a big hall and have a party with all those I care for, whether they be human, divine, spirit, or animal, living or deceased(but it forms that are palatable to all). There would be whatever anyone wanted to eat or drink. And a fountain. I love fountains!

@JustGeorge I'd either

Pop over the Atlantic puddle and give you a


Or grab the nearest time machine and go back to the morning our Cooking Fat was killed and make sure she didn't leave the house.

You'd be at the party.

Nothing.

I can certainly respect that.

fly. I would choose to fly for one day.

With wings, or just floating around?

Well, if everyone would be back to normal by tomorrow, then I'd say fly me inside of a black hole. It would be cool to see what's going on in there.

Good one!

I'm so very sorry.

That's how I feel about most days.

 

[The Hammer]

That was partially my point.

If we all did what little we could do to help another during our day.

How much would that benefit the world?

[exchemist]

I'm so very sorry.

Thanks George. It will be a bit sad of course to lose him at last, but neither we nor he can complain really, at that age. He's been very lucky really, getting to such an age without losing his mind or becoming nasty, or getting some horrible illness. So it would nice if he could now slip away quickly. (When my wife got to this point it was all over in a matter of hours, but then she had cancer so was very weak and was being progressively taken over by the disease.)

He's been a good father. I reminded him a couple of days ago that all his five sons are still alive, have not gone nuts, are still on good terms with each other, are comfortably off, have made good marriages with no divorces, and have produced grandchildren for him. These days those are pretty good statistics, which must say something about how we were brought up.

I've heard time doesn't exist there. So that tomorrow she spoke of just might not come. But you're a brave boy.

He sounds like he lived a wonderful life, and wonderful things have come from it.

I would delete everything going on in my head--- plans, memories, everything--- and spend one whole day walking around experiencing everything as if it were all brand new.

(Although I might get in trouble because with all my memories gone I wouldn't have any idea what a red light means)

Basically, you'd like to experience being an infant again? That's actually a good practice for mindfulness. Seeing the world as a newborn.
