I know what I want: I want opportunity cost to no longer be a factor in my
life, or anyone else's if they so choose.

basically, time. The time to read every book written if I was so inclined.
The time to spend 10 years doing nothing but learning a language until I can
pass for a native speaker. Or take a .1c trip to alpha centauri and back,
without everyone I know being dead or decrepit when I return...
