Kobe, a kid working a summer construction job in Belgium whose crew found a buried stash of gold worth €9M or 10.5M USD in today’s money, is the inspiration for this question. I’m assuming in that event, half goes to the property owner and it’s 4 construction workers and a foreman splitting the other half. The rightful owner has 5 years to claim according to local law. What would you do while you wait that out?
All the bureaucracy and dangers involved in dealing with mundane wealth, the way the illusory wealth further chains the ego to this Pale Blue Dot? Nah, I pass. Five years from today I’ll be hopefully gone from this cosmos, so I’d likely leave a will and/or power of attorney to redirect that money to whomever wished to remain in this demiurgic theatre. I’m better with my True Mother who says “no wealth, no rule, no silver, no gold, nothing satisfies me but your soul”.
