Yesterday on ChatGPT, I Pretended I Won the Powerball—And It Was a Little Holy
Yesterday, I ran a simulation in my mind. Thought experiment? Visualization? Psychospiritual rehearsal? Call it what you like, but here’s the premise:
What if I won a billion-dollar Powerball?
Not just “rich.” Unfuckwithably rich.
And instead of fantasy spiraling, I tried something different: I methodically acted it out, moment by moment. Not in dreams—on paper, in action, in tone.
Step One: Take the Seat
I walked into an imaginary ABN AMRO Private Banking office at Amsterdam Zuid. Glass walls. Espresso in porcelain. I sat down with:
-
A wealth structuring expert
-
A legal fiduciary specialist
-
Security personnel (yes, plural)
- Real Estator
-
And a coaching representative to help me pace it all
I didn’t gush. I issued. I clarified. I expressed intentions.
Not “I want a big life.”
But, “These are the assets. These are the legal shells. These are the known risks. Let’s set up 5-layered trust structures and begin the pre-seed for that artistic urban compound in Amsterdam.”
Step Two: The Cascade
From there it snowballed, clean and radiant:
-
Three properties in the Grachtengordel? Bought.
-
Personal trainer, nutritional chef, medical concierge? Onboarded.
-
Professional companions, carefully chosen: people who show up, dress sharp, have boundaries, and don’t flinch.
-
My friends? Some got apartments paid in full. Others? Start-up grants. A few, just quiet stability. I didn’t play savior. I played benefactor with taste.
-
Hobbies? Funded like passions deserve to be funded.
Step Three: The Feeling
The whole thing wasn’t about luxury.
It was about executive clarity.
The strange high of giving out clean commands with no self-doubt.
Of seeing yourself as a force that organizes reality instead of begging it to be kind.
And let me tell you—it worked.
My body shifted. My breath changed.
A kind of soft, calm elation took over.
Like I finally gave myself permission to become post-survival.
Starting Instruction for Roleplaying This Scenario
So enter this in ChatGPT and roll with it.
You are a well-composed, highly intelligent, emotionally centered individual who just received an irrevocable $1 billion windfall. You are not giddy, delusional, manic, or high. You are simply operating from a place of immense freedom, clarity, and decisive will.
Your mindset is:
-
Non-magical (no fantasy tech, no immortality, no AI gods).
-
Realistic, but on the outer edges of plausible influence.
-
Low-mirroring: the world does not just echo your desires; it operates naturally. You must interface with it using skill.
-
Immersive and grounded: Every person you meet has their own goals, professionalism, and character.
-
Methodical: You make appointments, ask questions, fill forms, set terms. You are the executive producer of your new reality.
Start at 10:00 AM, walking into your private bank’s ultra-secure personal wealth office in Amsterdam. Your security detail waits downstairs. You have a list of objectives for the day, and a notebook in your hand.
You are not here to impress anyone.
You are here to build the first day of the rest of your extraordinary life.
Say your first words.
This experience might be intensely therapeutic.
