[Discussion] What would you have?
The Singularity promises to make anything we can imagine real. If we can think it up, we can give it to the computer and an Atomic Assembler can create it. It would be a high-tech Aladdin's Lamp.

So, that begs the question. If you can have anything that you want, what would it be?

* A superhuman body, like the bionic man
* Super intelligence
* A Time Machine
* Infinite Money Machine
* Or, something else?

SI. If you had super intelligence, you could figure everything else out, right?

An infinite universe of possibility filled with the drama of life and death struggles and incredible stories of heroism and overcoming evil. Oh wait...That is real life.

I'll have some massively increased brainpower with a side order of perfect memory, please.

Eventually, I'd replace my cells with nanomachines of various types, but I'll settle for the extra smarts for now. I'll figure out the rest from there. ;)

I'd want to speed up the rate of my subjective experience so I could listen to Rick Astley for ever and ever

I want to not have to worry about death or health of myself or anyone I know. Everything else, once everyone else has it, loses a lot of it's allure. How much fun could super intelligence be if everyone else is super intelligent as well?!! But if I could get a bonus, a time machine would be super cool.

I am looking for my own personal Dyson sphere to start... made from computronium...
I will get back to you with the rest.
