If you were not constrained by the limitations of work, money, compulsory education, etc., and were basically free to do anything you wanted for the rest of your life...

How would you like to spend your life?

Improving humanity and human interactions with nature and each other.
Also 3D babes and Duke Nukem True Forever.

I would honestly make games.
I just need more practice at coding and a good immersive environment.

That or i'd just hang out with my band all day, drink beer and play guitar.

Doing the same thing I am doing right now. Making games.

Girls, Sex and last but not least, Rock 'n' Roll.

That song aside, I would be on the road, on a motorcycle driving though the green hills and trees, or flying as much as I can in a Sbach 342, perfecting aerobatics and what not.

Tl;dr Flying aircrafts and riding a motorcycle.

I'd be making games and films--mostly film reinterpretations of games.

In my personal life I would certainly work towards becoming a pilot. If I am truly unconstrained by money, there are many weird and wonderful aircraft of which I would like to see reproductions made.
As for how I would spend most of my time, I would probably do a combination of working for NASA or a similar entity, and doing what I'm doing now.

I'd make games. Maybe have minor roles in the occasional (no-studio) film. Learn Krav Maga and various other hand-to-hand/CQC forms.
Since we're also talking about no monetary limits, buy and learn how to fly a helicopter.

And maybe, just maybe, learn how to talk to girls. Or where to find girls to talk to.

Learning, full time. I'd take random university courses for the rest of my life. Philosophy, math, engineering, law. But primarily computer science: Programming theory, networking, compiler and language design. I'd create a programming language or get involved in the community of an existing one.

I'd learn to speak several non-English languages. Japanese, Korean, French, and perhaps German or some other European languages. Live the country while learning the language. I'd get involved in some fan translations of non-English media (shows/novels/games).

Get a job doing something I'm passionate about. Not full-time, and probably something I can do remotely. Perhaps for a non-profit that has ideals that I agree with, such as Mozilla.

I'd also finish by Steam backlog.

Despite the theoretical removal of those physical and social constraints, one is unfortunately subjugated by mental constraints that have been built into human nature since the dawn of time. These constraints become mandates that dictate everything including your hobbies, interests, needs, and wants. What these hobbies, interests, etc. do is to give you a sense of significance and/or worthiness. So therefore one may be considered to be constrained by one's own mind, so to speak.

Jeff, it's time to learn the truth that theres nothing special about women or anything like that. I may not have either the experience nor the qualification to say this, but the point is, why do you want to talk to girls? Want to get into a relationship? It might be time to look into yourself every now and then and ask your mind Why?

Honestly lol these pseudo-profound statements prolly have nothing really significant behind them. I should be playing more HL mods instead.

The... "constraint", as you call it, of one's own mind is what makes these answers unique. Unless you mean that we would only really consider things grounded in the mundane. But then I don't know why that would be a problem. We're only human.

As for the second paragraph, among other things, instinct, companionship, and fun.

Myself, I would love to do this sort of thing. Like, really, exactly that.

I would meditate, travel all over the world and play games all day long. By games i mean both video and irl. Literally, i would like to go outside and play again hide and seek , tag, etc... Yup, i just said that.
