1. A bit of land
big enough to farm on, good health, and... good liberal neighbors.

2. Apart from the 67 virgins????
Just a feeling of utter security. I'm quite simple that way :)

4. I want to see tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
I'm a science fiction buff -- but I genuinely I want to be around to see us survive ourselves and evolve and spread through our solar system, and the galaxy and so on, and to develop new amazing technologies and maybe encounter others out there no matter how strange or different. I want to watch the human race mature and still want to see the next day and the day after that.

Paradise for me isn't being mindlessly happy all the time - but as long as we're running around living forever I think I'd like to be indestructible too. Less stress, you know. Paradise for me is seeing what comes next - I don't know that I'd trade that for anything else.

10. A quaint brownstone in Lake View......
With unlimited funds and leisure time.

It would be all that I require. I can take care of the rest.
